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. |
