Route Map
It started off fairly bright this morning
but that soon changed once I was up onto Steel Knotts. Looking up to the
High Street ridge, the clouds came down on it and I thought I was in for
a day in the clag - fortunately it lifted before I got there but the
breeze made it surprisingly cold today.
A little bit of early morning sunshine on the climb to
Hallin Fell.
The Nab and Beda Fell again from higher up the climb.
Ullswater from Hallin Fell.
Steel Knotts ahead, St Peter's Church can be seen in
the trees in the centre.
Looking the other way across St Peter's Church to
Hallin Fell beyond.
Lanty Tarn.
The weather gradually closed in on the climb of Steel
Knotts. Dougal and Casper are hiding on the rock tor that is the summit
of Steel Knotts, Pikeawassa.
Dougal does that sheepdog thang when they spot a
sheep.
Beda Fell.
Looking back to Steel Knotts from Brownthwaite Crag.
The ruin at the head of Fusedale before the climb to
the High Street ridge and Wether Hill. It was so cold now I had to put a
jacket on along with hat and gloves, not great for May.
The summit of Wether Hill, at least the cloud has
cleared now.
The grassy expanse leading to Loadpot Hill, on the
left is a herd of wild fell ponies.
Loadpot Hill.
First we are heading for Arthur's Pike, which is on
the right before cutting back to Bonscale Pike on the left in this
photo.
Dougal's ear gives away the stiff breeze up here
today.
