The fabulous weather from this week continued today and it was well worth a visit to Wasdale for a walk up to Middle Fell. The light was just perfect and with the colours really starting to show it made for a lovely morning to be walking the fells.
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.

You may well be bigger than me you young pup but let's see your tongue!

Down at Greendale Tarn.
Not quite warm enough for a swim today - the sunshine is deceptive as it was a cool wind.
