upper Newlands Valley from the ridge


a busy summer Sunday on the ridge of Catbells


another shot down into Newlands Valley ..


.. and looking down Newlands Valley to Bass Lake from the steepest bit of the ridge


Catbells summit in the rain - amazingly I had it to myself


Grange Fell and Borrowdale from the descent path ..


.. further down Castle Crag comes into view


zooming in on King's How and Grange-in-Borrowdale


Skiddaw and Blencathra in cloud from Derwentwater shore


some folk getting a lot wetter than us walkers in the intermittent rain


looking north down the lake to Blencathra ..


.. and south towards the head of Derwentwater and Glaramara


the Derwentwater launch ..


.. and again with Walla Crag behind


the Low Brandlehow jetty is closed - looking to Blencathra
