Day 5, the final day of  a circuit of some of Lakeland's central fells & valleys

Armboth (Thirlmere) to Legburthwaite  

8 miles 1600ft 

Setting off at first light from the southern end of Thirlmere...
....Continuing up the forest track heading for Fisher Crag
Passing the ruined hut below Fisher crag
Looking north up Thirlmere from Fisher crag....
....and now south towards Dunmail Raise
Looking down on Hawes How island
With perfect timing the sun rose over the Fairfield fells
Experimenting with my camera sat in the grass
Leaving Fisher crag and now crossing Fisher gill on the way to Raven crag
Now on Raven crag summit at the north end of  Thirlmere and looking across to Legburthwaite the start of my walk (4 walking days ago)
A very popular place for having your photo taken...
....not surprisingly given views like this....
....and this, the dam at the north end of the reservoir
Looking north to Skiddaw from the descent....
.....and down towards the dam again
Crossing the dam and looking back up to Raven crag....
....and a final look down the reservoir whilst 
having my lunch before returning to the car.
This had been a very enjoyable 5 days walking with a wide variety of scenery, terrain and not surprisingly  weather!
