Another clear day today and long may it last. We had a short walk up to Wainwright Outlying fell Latterbarrow, the one with the large obelisk on the top overlooking Hawkshead. It was lovely up there today and of course we worked up a fine appetite for (the essential) lunch in Hawkshead!
Connie spots something to photograph at the beginning of the walk. Hmm, I'd better watch out!

It is a steep descent from Latterbarrow. Angus has gone - can you spot him? Back by popular request, The ConnieCam! The following photos were all taken by Connie, commentary by Connie too!
There is a nice view from this walk.
