Route Map

I just had time for a quick sprint up to Gummer's How this morning, well it seemed a shame to miss a bit of sunshine after yesterday. There were fine views as ever from there and not a soul around.

Like StridingEdge.net? Have a look at the new StridingEdge fan page on Facebook where there are discussions and photos about all things Lake District.

Someone is ruining the perfectly usable existing path by putting these horrible stones in.

Looking southwards over Lakeside towards Ulverston.

All a-blur to get to the summit.

Casper and Dougal at the summit of Gummer's How.

The northerly view from the trig. column.

 

A 360 view from Gummer's How.

The Coniston Fell and the Langdale Pikes.

Looking towards Furness.

Morecambe Bay.

Windermere.

Dougal has a comfortable sit down on Casper.

Distant windmills on Kirkby Moor, Black Combe central.

A panoramic view of Windermere - the shape is a bit distorted as really it is straight in the middle!

Close up on a busy Lakeside.

Fairfield and Red Screes at the head of Windermere.

Sunlit trees at the bottom of Gummer's How.
