A friend who has slowly been working through his Wainwright list asked me if I'd like to accompany while he aimed for Grasmoor. As summer has finally arrived I couldn't really refuse :) The trig point on Eel Crag which has slowly been deteriorating has finally toppled - probably helped.
Crummock rewards the early start...
the views improve on the short climb up Rannerdale Knotts...
Loweswater slowly comes into view too...
High Stile & Red Pike would have made a fine second choice today...
hot climb up Whiteless Pike...
and a fine easy ridge to Thirdgill Head Man & Wandope...
looking back to Whiteless Pike...
Grasmoor from Thirdgill Head Man...
a short walk reaches the summit of Wandope...
Wandope's attractive side over Addacombe Hole...
Eel Crag and its toppled trig...
and from the other side looking to Grasmoor...
approaching Grasmoor's summit...
no trig, just a shelter...
a continous line of walkers ascending Lad Hows meant the first descent photo was taken just above Lad Hows...
lush green Rannerdale Knotts...
Whiteless Pike from the valley floor...
I had no idea Lad Hows had become that popular - I've never seen anyone else on it before!
ReplyDeleteYou got a gorgeous day and the photos have come out great. Shame about the poor old toppled trig - hope it wasn't deliberate but think it must have been somehow.

Strangely there was no one coming over the little ridge from Whiteless Pike - which is usually the popular route! I think the trig was helped :( Cheers Simon
