On the climb to Stickle Pike, looking across to Caw which is shrouded in mist.

Looking back along the bracken highway.

Casper contemplates getting a bit wetter in Stickle Tarn.

Irresistible for the lad.

Dougal has been in too but he needed a 'helping hand'!

Looking down to the tarn from the climb to the summit as the mist comes in.

Dougal frolics across to the north - and main - top.

A brief glimpse of the Duddon Valley.
