Travelling towards Ambleside . . .
shots taken from the car . . .
as we pass Holme Crag . . .
and New Yacht Quay . . .
before reaching Waterhead
Seat Sandal comes into view ahead . . .
as does Helm Crag and Steel Fell across the A591
A closer view of Seat Sandal after passing Winterseeds . . .

Our route leads down to the footbridge across Tongue Gill . . .
