More almost perfect conditions again today. The walk started with a few camera maladies – try as I might, I could not get my ‘best’ camera to work so I had to revert to number 2. I spent an annoying 20 minutes or so messing around with it before I admitted defeat, it would have to wait until I got home to consult the user guide. That apart, it was a lovely walk – superb conditions, no wind with only the haze coming down to spoil that a little bit. Just me and Casper again today, I don’t think Angus can handle this heat, haircut or no haircut.

Swiftly past Ashness Bridge where the crowds were gathering and up on the path which contours the lower slopes of Bleaberry Fell, here looking to Derwent Water and Skiddaw.

The view to the south from High Seat, looking towards Bow Fell, Esk Pike, the Scafells, Lingmell, Great Gable and Kirk Fell.
