It was a superb sunny morning this morning for our walk around the Dunnerdale Fells. It was one of those days when it is truly a joy to be out – the sun was shining, the birds were singing and there wasn’t a soul about. Casper and Angus certainly enjoyed the run out, as did I!

...and looking back over the route just walked. Great Stickle is to the left with the Bog Cotton field below with the arm of the Tarn Hill ridge leading to the right.
