Sunrise over Binsey & the Whittas Park circle

Binsey is one of my favorite hills. Not for the hill itself, this overall is slightly underwhelming but the views towards Skiddaw & up Bassenthwaite more than make up for what the hill lacks. A route over Whittas Park makes for a slightly longer & more worthwhile outing, although not on public rights of way.

The early morning sun obscured by cloud...



but it began to make an appearance over Binsey...


& over the Whittas Park stone circle...





the gateway gives the impression your not welcome...

grouse, a distinctive silhouette...

the summit cairn looms...

cairn, trig & bronze age tumulus...

Overwater...

crepuscular rays...


and a photo finally not into the sun...








retracing my steps...



chimney...

ruined shooting 'lodge'...

Caermote & St. John's Hill...
