With MWIS predicting clear skies it guaranteed a great day.
Silver How was a last minute addition, at the cost of my lawn that is desperate from a bit of Flymo attention!
The sound of hunting horns rose up from Chapel Stile & Langdale and a few hounds criss-crossed the route to Silver How.
Once down in Grasmere, ruling out the grass cutting completely I decdided to have a look at Alcock Tarn. I had intended to walk up to Heron Pike but it seemed to have its fair share of visitors so didn't need two more, so I walked over Nab Scar on this side of Rydal.
Early morning, Rydal Water...
Loughrigg Cave (a slate closehead)...
new plaque beside the cave, one of my favourite places too - I wont type what my opinion is of the current trend of memorials, it would offend somebody...
climb up Loughrigg Fell from above the cave...
one of several small reedy tarns...
Loughrigg Fell's summit trig & Windermere...
the view North up Dunmail...
Grasmere...
Silver How...
Grasmere again...
Military transport plane, Stone Arthur & Great Rigg...
looking back at Loughrigg Fell...
Langdale Pikes...
Loughrigg Fell, Grasmere, Rydal & Windermere from Silver How's summit...
Heron Pike, Nab Scar over Grasmere & Rydal...
descending to Grasmere...
Stone Arthur looks more prominent from the valley then it does from the actual fell!!!
Thirlmere - Manchester aqueduct in Greenhead Gill...
Helm Crag from Greenhead Gill...
Alcock Tarn...
Loughrigg Fell from the climb up Nab Scar...
Loughrigg Fell & Rydal from Nab Scar...
even these two are admiring the view...
