Route Map

It was a grey old day in the south Lakes today even though the morning had promised much with bright sunshine everywhere. I had a walk to Lingmoor Fell with friend Ken and the views ended up being non-existent but it was really quite calm and pleasant despite the cool temperature.

Time for a dip.

Heading for Side Pike. There is already a group of walkers up there.

Ken tries to push the rock out of the way but can't quite manage it.

Breathe in and form an orderly queue at the squeeze.
