 |
| We start our climb of Grasmoor in a steady drizzle | |
 |
|
| Looking back downhill as Buttermere disappears in the mist | |
 |
|
| Eventually reaching the top after a long hard climb | |
 |
|
|
On Grasmoor summit we can see some grass, no more. |
|
 |
|
| The mist starts to clear as we descend into Coledale Hause | |
 |
|
| The views now extending into the valley | |
 |
|
| And beyond the Lakes | |
 |
|
| What a patchwork! | |
 |
|
| Now on top of Grisedale Pike | |
 |
|
| Time for a group photo | |
 |
|
| Herdwick with very young lamb | |
 |
|
| A Herdwick Sheep with a white face and brown fleece is apparently about 1 year old. | |
 |
|
| As we look down to Derwentwater and Keswick | |
 |
|
| A difficult descent begins | |
 |
|
| An old lead mine down in the valley | |
 |
|
| As we look back uphill to Grisedale Pike | |
 |
|
| A bit of flora (thyme) | |
 |
|
| Now descending on a better path | |
 |
|
| To cross a stream | |
 |
|
| With more views back to Grisedale as we enter Braithwaite | |
 |
|
| A much-needed refreshment break | |
 |
|
| And then head back to the hotel | |
 |
|
| Last of the Summer Wine - back in the sunshine. |
