Lake District
High Street
The 4 of us at the trig point having a well earned rest. | |
Park Fell overlooks Kentmere Common and joins High St. with Froswick. | |
The view from the above spot. | |
A break on Kidsty Pike looking across to Harter Fell. | |
Same break, different photo! | |
Riggindale Crag from High Street. | Approach route along the crag from Haweswater. |
Ullswater | |
At the start of the walk, around 0700hrs, good start to the day. | |
Arthurs Pike from Ullswater. | Taken at 1415 from the Ferry, and yes, it`s raining! |
The Sun Shines From-----! | As I turned from taking another pic, this opportunity was too good to miss! |
Ullswater and The Dodds. | From Bonscale Pike looking towards Glennridding, that 's heat haze not mist! |
Howtown Wyke from Bonscale Pike. | Looking down on Howtown. Gives you some idea of the hight we were. |
A Red Squirrel at Howtown. | A rare sight! we were priveledged to see 3 on this walk |
Blencathra and Sharp Edge | |
This, is what Blencathra should look like! | Not my Photo! but it needed to be shown! |
This, is what it did look like! Low cloud and rain! | Couldn't see a thing! the mist was thick and wet, but we hoped for the best. |
A well earned rest on the way up to Sharp Edge. | The torrent of water shows how much rain we had! |
The start of Sharp Edge | Hard to see the way to take. |
Should we? or shouldnt we? | We had to make a decision here, we saw a snow gully we could use to reach the top! |
Bill and Gary on snow ridge on Blencathra Summit. | Snow ridge ran the whole length of Blencathra. |
There is a 900 ft drop under that! | A snow overhang looking very dangerous. |
A free mug from Rock n Run ( I won it! ) Hot coffee on the flanks of Saddleback. | Well earned rest after a heart stopping walk in bad visabilty and weather. |
It did clear on the way down, This is Keswick and Derwent Water. | At last we had some views to look at. |
And looking over to Gt Dodd and Thirlmere. | This was another view. |
On the path back to Scales-our start point, at the base of Doddick Fell. | Nice waterfall, and right on the path too! |
The aproach to Sharp Edge--- This is what it should look like! | Again, not my photo's. Sorry, but I cant remember where I got them, but I will put a link on when I can! |
--and on Sharp Edge. | Ditto |
And, not very far from the Lakes!
Hadrians Wall, from Brampton to Haltwhistle.
A famous landmark to start the day. | |
Our first view of 'The Wall' | |
One of the re-constructed Beacons. | |
Excelent spot this! especially the coffee shop! | |
Interesting spot on the river, showing the skill of the bridge builders. | |
This is what the bridge looked like in Roman Times. (How do they know that?) | |
Whats left of the original. | |
Good views as the aspect opens up. | |
A well earned stop for grub! I And in a nice valley to! | |
Pity the ruins are closed, but they look as though they are about to fall down! | |
My walking buddy, Eric Carter, posing in front of the castle. | |
Fantastic visitor center, showing how the stone for the wall was quarried. | |
A Pheasant walking The Wall! | But it didn't walk all the way with us! |
