 |
| From just north of Thirlmere | |
 |
|
| We head uphill | |
 |
|
| A bit of scrambling | |
 |
|
| Heading along a ridge | |
 |
|
| With views into the valley | |
 |
|
| Following an undulating path | |
 |
|
| Over a ladder stile | |
 |
|
| Slowly gaining height | |
 |
|
| Boggy in places | |
 |
|
| Cotton grass enjoying the damp | |
 |
|
| Looking back to Thirlmere | |
 |
|
| The Angel of the North | |
 |
|
| We pause for a photo on High Rigg | |
 |
|
| Blencathra looms in the distance | |
 |
|
| Jan stops to tell us about the church in St John's Vale | |
 |
|
| Before we go inside | |
 |
|
| Then continue across fields and stone walls | |
 |
|
| Round Tewet Tarn | |
 |
|
| To Castlerigg stone circle | |
 |
|
| The sun shining across the valley | |
 |
|
| Obviously not scared of a few ramblers | |
 |
|
| We pose on top of Castlehead | |
 |
|
| Where we have views across Derwentwater to Cats Bells | |
 |
|
| And to Keswick | |
 |
|
| The topograph on Castlehead | |
 |
|
| Finally a lamb uses a muck heap to play on. |
