A walk around The Uldale Fells today at the ‘Back O’ Skiddaw’. This area is a real wilderness and in the main the fells are grassy hummocks. A place of solitude, I didn’t see another soul today.
Skiddaw and Bakestall through Trusmadoor from the ascent of Meal Fell. My descent from Great Cockup was the path coming down diagonally from the right while later, on the return, I descended Burn Tod from the left of the photo, crossed Burntod Gill, and followed the path towards Skiddaw.
Brae Fell, Little Sca Fell and Great Sca Fell from the grassy hump that is the summit of Frozen Fell.
