Scroll down to see photos of the walk
Preparing for the walk in the morning sunshine
Lingmoor and the Coniston Fells look fairly clear . . .
but mist hangs in the valley over Elterwater
Heading for Dow Bank . . .
where the group gathers for a photo and enjoys views . . .
over Lingmoor to Crinkle Crags and the Langdale Pikes . . .
over Grasmere to the Fairfield Horseshoe and . . .
across to Dunmail Raise flanked by Steel Fell and Seat Sandal
Crinkle Crags and the Langdale Pikes stand out against the blue shy . . .
but mist remains over Windermere
Getting nearer to Grasmere . . .
as we pass below the flanks of Swirl How
Following the tourist path . . .
as we climb Sour Milk Ghyll . . .
and walk past Easedale Tarn . . .
but not many people stopping here today
We continue away from the tarn . . .
and find a sheltered spot for lunch before reaching the path from Sergeant Man
Clouds gather as we start the return journey . . .
and shadow has created a work of art in this icy pool
Robb contemplates the view . . .
down the Great Langdale Valley
