The fells to the east seemed to enjoy the best of the weather today and it was lovely and sunny for most of today’s walk to some of the eastern fells I haven’t visited for a while. It was like a summers day walking back along Glenridding, never mind spring and I think I caught the sun today as well. Time to ditch the micro spikes and get out the sun cream and shorts I reckon!

Boundary Stone on Heron Pike. 'M' for Marshall estate of Patterdale with 'H' on the other side for Howard estate of Greystoke.

Stybarrow Dodd from White Stones and it seems to be a lot cloudier over to the west, in fact I would say the Helvellyn ridge was the dividing line between sunshine and cloud today.

An odd photo but Skiddaw looked like a volcano with a giant sheet of cloud seemingly emanating from its summit.

I descended by this steep cut on the east side of White Side. I did wonder if anyone had ever been down here before but it certainly was a quick way down.
