Route Map

Another clear day today and long may it last. We had a short walk up to Wainwright Outlying fell Latterbarrow, the one with the large obelisk on the top overlooking Hawkshead. It was lovely up there today and of course we worked up a fine appetite for (the essential) lunch in Hawkshead!

Connie spots something to photograph at the beginning of the walk. Hmm, I'd better watch out!

It is a steep descent from Latterbarrow. Angus has gone - can you spot him?

There is a nice view from this walk.
