| Setting off from Braithwaite village (Keswick) |
 |
| Causey Pike on the horizon - the first on the ridge |
 |
| Crossing Stonycroft Gill |
 |
| Early morning sun just starting to break through |
 |
| Looking back down the ridge from Causey Pike.... |
 |
| ....and the way ahead along the ridge |
 |
| Looking down from Scar Crag to Coledale Quarry.... |
 |
| ....and across Coledale to Hopegill Head |
 |
| The zig-zag ascent of Sail up ahead.... |
 |
| ....and back down the ridge so far |
 |
| Sail Beck from Sail.... |
 |
| ....and the path up Crag Hill with Wandope now in view |
 |
| Zooming in Wandope from Crag Hill summit |
 |
| Crag Hill summit trig point the highest point of today 839m (2753ft) |
 |
| Mountains and deep valleys in every direction |
 |
| Whiteless Pike now the next and last on the ridge with Buttermere (left) and Crummock Water (right) |
 |
| Crummock Water and Loweswater visible above it |
 |
| A final look back towards Causey Pike from Whiteless Pike... |
 |
| ...with the impressive Grasmoor to the west |
 |
| Now descending to Buttermere village |
 |
| The misty fells to the east with Buttermere below.... |
 |
| ....and my bus back disappearing up the valley! (2hrs for the next one) |
 |
| Almost down to the village |
 |
| Now, with time to spare, a visit to St James' church where.... |
 |
| ...there is a memorial to Wainwright.... |
 |
| ....and if you raise your eyes as suggested, you see Haystacks his favourite mountain where his ashes are scattered... |
 |
| ....and finally to the bus stop! |
