| Comments: | The path is clear for most of the walk but a couple of places need careful navigation. It was a sunny and very clear day so there were lots of opportunities for photos, even though Wainwright said, ' the scenery is desolate and has little of beauty'. | ||

A clearer view of the Whiteside Pike from the track past Mosergh Farm
The Shipman Knotts/Kentmere Pike ridge - Longsleddale Valley is hidden beyond the fields
The cows, overlooked by Whiteside Pike, seem to be taking an interest
Whiteside Pike summit with Todd Fell on the left and Capplebarrow on the right
A close-up of the inscription stone
Looking back towards Kendal the division between fell and field is obvious
Looking down to Docker Gill, a path follows the wall towards Brunt Knott on the horizon
From Whiteside Pike the indistinct path leads down to the wall then up to Todd Fell on the left
Across the Bannisdale Valley we get a good view of the Capplefall crags
From Todd Fell the Longsleddale Valley comes into view, with Shipman Knotts and Kentmere Pike behind, and Yoke, Ill Bell and Froswick disappearing in the low cloud
Great Gable seems to rise out of the mist on the far horizon, while the Langdale Pikes are just touching the cloud on the left
The path from Sadgill to Kentmere is clearly seen by the wall and the Garburn Pass can just be seen in the distance
The Bannisdale valley from the top of the horseshoe
Looking back across the Bannisdale Fells to Ancrow Brow - not much of a path here
White Howe has its own trig point . . .
and the unnamed top between White Howe and Lamb Pasture has its own miniature cairn
The 'cairn' on Lamb Pasture is almost hidden in the colourful grass
