Borrowdale 

A circuit from Grange Bridge including Castle Crag, High Spy via Lobstone Door,  Eel Crags, Maiden Moor & Manesty on Derwentwater, 10miles 2900ft

I discovered another "Borrowdale Banksy" today but to keep its location secret I've put its photos at the beginning  rather than where it occurs on my route. Some folk like to destroy them!

A Borrowdale Banksy right in the heart of Borrowdale this time....

....and again

Note the 'mini' Banksy to the side!

....and again

Leaving Grange village as the sun appeared over the fells to the east

The path leading to Castle Crag

This quarry lies half way up the path to the summit 

Derwentwater from the summit 951ft.... the lowest of the 214 Wainwrights

....and Walla Crag with Blencathra behind

Now looking south to Rosthwaite  

Looking back at Castle Crag as I gained height on my route to High Spy via Lobstone Door....

....and south to Greenup Edge and Ullscarth

As I arrived at High Spy summit 2142ft I met this group of lads who were doing their Duke of Edingburgh's Award hike over 4 days. They were from Guernsey!

I then back tracked across the summit to Eel Crags for these views to Dale Head Crags and the upper Newlands valley....

....and again

Grange Bridge where my car is parked as I followed Narrow Ridge to Maiden Moor

A rain shower arrived as I arrived at Maiden Moor with Bassenthwaite lake in view....

.....but it soon cleared as I descended to the Hause before Cat Bells

Lunch time above Derwentwater....

.....before continuing the descent to Manesty

Derwentwater with Skiddaw behind

Finally arriving back at Grange Bridge

A little short on the sunshine today but nevertheless a very enjoyable walk with the bonus of finding another "Borrowdale Banksy"
