What a fabulous morning it was with really clear air and that ‘good to be alive’ feeling. We had time for a quick walk up to well trodden (by us) Middle Fell, the views from there of the Scafells and the head of Wasdale are simply fantastic.
Beautiful early light at Greendale.
Buckbarrow and Casper Gully.
The path and a straight up contrail.
Looking back down - the sky suddenly clouded over for a while from here.
A well earned drink on the climb. This pool always reminds me of Casper, a favourite watering hole of his.

...and from higher up, the sun lighting up Wast Water.
The summit of Middle Fell.
You may well be bigger than me you young pup but let's see your tongue!
Looking towards the West Cumbrian coast.
Haycock.
Down at Greendale Tarn.
Not quite warm enough for a swim today - the sunshine is deceptive as it was a cool wind.

The classic view of Wasdale.
