A friend had asked me to take him around the Kentmere Horseshoe, I agreed but as I had only been over these again the week previous I was relieved when at the last minute he changed his mind, selecting the Coniston Fells. As he is only half way through the Wainwrights he was quite keen to tick off all eight despite the rather disappointing low cloud.
Copper Mine Valley, will it clear???
Dow Crag shrouded from the Walna Scar road...
cloud base licking the summit of the Walna Scar Pass & hobbit house...
Forefinger & thumb, Easy Gully...
no view from the summit...
although as usual clears slightly once its left...
glimpse of Goat's Water...
Coniston Old Man's summit trig...
looking back it nearly clears on the way to Brim Fell...
Brim Fell...
descending to Levers Hawse...
Brim Fell of course is now clear, a faint whiff remains on Dow Crag...
Seathwaite Reservoir...
Lever's Water...
Swirl How summit, Greenburn & Wetherlam...
Halifax LL505 crash site on Great Carrs...
Great Carrs with Swirl How, The Old Man, Brim Fell & Dow Crag beyond...
it doesn't take long to get to Grey Friar's summit...
or to cross back over Swirl How, Wetherlam & the top of the prison band...
Lever's Water from the Prison Band...
Black Sails summit, a Hewitt but sadly not a Wainwright...
Wetherlam, unusually peaceful...
nearly back at Copper Mines Valley...
Somehow didn't get notified on this post! Lovely photos of one of my favourite 'rounds' - hope your mate enjoyed it!
