Route Map

Where to today Connie?

'The fell with the biggest column in the world!'.

That'll be Latterbarrow then!

Not much in the way of views today though unfortunately - at least it was a bit cooler today - shame about the clouds.

Heading up the track from Colthouse, Connie shouts Casper (at the gate) and Angus (disappeared!).

Lily tarn on Colthouse Heights.

Lots of lilies.

The forestry plantation on the Old Intake has now been felled. Formerly it was a dark path through the trees.

The clouds lift from Wetherlam on the way to Latterbarrow.

First one to touch the column!

Angus, Connie and Casper on Latterbarrow.

The head of Windermere with Ambleside, centre. The clouds are down on the high fells today.

Looking to the Langdale Pikes and the central fells.

Red Screes.

Flying Casper.

A ferry on Windermere, Wansfell behind.

'All the better to lick you with!'.

Colthouse in bloom.
