setting off towards a cloud covered Old Man

Bell Crag with Wetherlam in cloud beyond

Wetherlam now almost clear from mines on the ascent path

in one of the mines on the ascent path

looking up the path from the same spot

looking down onto the ruined mine buildings

zooming in on some old miners' cottages in Coppermines Valley

looking down on Coppermines Valley and Coniston Water

climbing above Low Water

looking down the zigzag path to Low Water and Levers Water

the head of Coniston Water and Coniston village as we climb into cloud

cloudy and very windy on top of the Old Man

a sheltered lunch spot well down the south ridge looking to Coniston Water

zooming in on the foot of Coniston Water

the head of Coniston Water from the descent path ..

.. and again with a bit of sunshine

Walna Scar road below and a bit of sun on the banks of Coniston Water

the last bit of the path down to Boo Tarn

looking back up the path

better weather on the Helvellyn ridge
