the Mell Fells from the foot of Carrock Fell

looking back down the track coming up from the ford over Carrock Beck

stormy skies over the Pennines from the slopes of Carrock Fell

zooming in over the Solway to Scotland from the slopes of Carrock Fell

looking northwards from high up our ascent path

the corrie containing Bowscale Tarn from the summit of Carrock Fell

the River Caldew from the top of Carrock Fell

a shower to the north looking towards Scotland

walls of the fort on the north side of Carrock Fell summit

wall on the south side of the summit

looking over the wall to Great Mell Fell

zooming in on Great Mell Fell with Little Mell Fell faintly to the left

sunshine to the north from the ridge westwards

a brief spell of sunshine on the west ridge of Carrock Fell

looking back east to Carrock Fell summit

sun catching the 365m high mast of the Skelton transmitter

Blencathra almost free of cloud

the start of the Red Gate descent path

further down the Red Gate path

mine on the slopes of High Pike

looking down the valley of Carrock Beck from the Red Gate path ..

.. and again with a rainbow

the track on the north side of Carrock Beck with the Pennines in the distance

Carrock Beck and the bridge above the ford
