| New lambs in the field in January! |
 |
| Passing through the hamlet of New Hutton |
 |
| The church of St Stephen as the hamlet is left behind |
 |
| Killington lake beside the service station on the M6 |
 |
| Lily Mere private lake |
 |
| A morning break looking back west... |
 |
| ...before dropping into the Lune valley |
 |
| Crossing the River Lune |
 |
| ...and having lunch above it |
 |
| Following the Dales Way along the River Rawthey near Sedbergh |
 |
| The final half mile through the grounds of Sedbergh School |
 |
| After leaving Elterwater, Danny admires the view to Wetherlam and Little Langdale tarn |
 |
| Looking over the Langdale valley, on the horizon is the snow -capped Helvellyn range (L) and Fairfield (R) and Grisedale Hause between. |
 |
| Danny starts his first lunch of the day resplendent in his new buttie box |
 |
| Yours truly sitting (too windy to stand) on top of Lingmoor fell 466m (1529ft) |
 |
| Zooming in on the village of Chapel Stile |
 |
| Probably the most recognisable summits in Lakeland the Langdale Pikes |
 |
| Blea Tarn with Bleaberry Knott above |
 |
| The large Lakeland Stone quarry above Elterwater |
 |
| Back at The Brittania Inn at Elterwater |
 |
| ....just before sunrise |
 |
| Climbing out of Kentmere over Staveley Head fell.... |
 |
| ....then here it comes over Cocklaw fell |
 |
| Looking down into a frosty Long Sleddale.... |
 |
| ....before descending into Long Sleddale |
 |
| ....and again |
 |
| Looking up Long Sleddale to cloud hanging over Gatesgarth Pass |
 |
| The River Sprint meandering down towards Kendal |
 |
| Waterfalls on the river nearing the top of the pass |
 |
| A sharp change in conditions as the snowline is crossed |
 |
| A sign post for the unsure at the top of the pass |
 |
| Descending to Mardale Head, Haweswater comes into view |
 |
| ....and again |
 |
| A short walk along the side of Haweswater |
 |
| A final look back up to Gatesgarth Pass before reaching the car park on the far side to hopefully find transport! |
