Today's walk: Dufton Pike


Dufton Pike from Dufton


ford on the start of the track to the south ridge of Dufton Pike


looking over fields to the south of the track


the gate giving access onto the south ridge of Dufton Pike


looking back down the track just before going through the gate


zooming in over the Eden Valley to the eastern fells of the Lake District


the Mell fells seen over the Eden valley from the ridge of Dufton Pike


looking south down the ridge of Dufton Pike


the valley of Threlkeld Side from the ridge


the south ridge from Dufton Pike summit


looking north from Dufton Pike summit with Cross Fell hidden in cloud


the north ridge of Dufton Pike


looking over the Eden Valley to Lakeland from a snow patch on the north ridge


the Eden Valley from lower down the ridge ..


.. and zooming in on the Mell fells with Blencathra in cloud on the right


the end of the open access area on Dufton Pike ..


.. a track swings down into the valley of Great Rundale Beck ..


.. and then sharp left downstream to this stile with Knock Pike ahead


Great Mell Fell from the track


the Pennine Way heading north for Cross Fell and Scotland


slab bridge on the Pennine Way ..


.. which is in an awful state - here looking to Dufton Pike


the Lakeland fells from the track


Halsteads


more like a river than a path in places


Dufton Pike from Cortsike Farm ..


.. and from the track down to Dufton
