| So green compared to Scotland recently! |
 |
| Ian checking out a water supply. |
 |
| A great place to camp on Ladstone Edge, Wetherlam. |
 |
| Last of the evening sun lighting up Ambleside and the head of Windermere |
 |
| Sunrise from Ladstone, the light had a milky appearance early on. |
 |
| The lower Yewdale fells weathed in the start of an inversion |
 |
| Sun starting to hit the tents |
 |
| Sunrise really getting good. |
 |
| The sea of mist washing up against Wetherlam |
 |
| Whilst the other side of the ridge Coniston Old Man had its feet in the mist. |
 |
| As we climbed the ridge to the summit the mist started to wash over the ridge. |
 |
| There had been other high level backpackers...ther were 3 Akto's further up the ridge. |
 |
| And to the North the Langdale Pikes were visable above the inversion |
 |
| We then climbed Swirl How and skirted Brim Fell and The Old Man before we dropped out of the cloud to Goatswater. Dow Crag looked impressive from the tarn. |
 |
| We dropped down to Tranearth and then Torver. |
 |
| We then used the old railway and then the lakeshore path back to the car in Coniston. The Lakes at their best!! |
at there best indeed, there's something magic about being above the inversion

It was a great trip Danny.

Absolutely fantastic. How lucky to get 2 great days.
ReplyDeleteIt was really only a day and a half....I was at work until 5pm on Saturday:-( I am vey lucky to live so close to the Lakes and Dales. If I take my gear to work in the car I can make a last minute decision to go.
DeleteThe conditions were perfect tho!
Great photos Al. I must get round to camping up there, I can see it from my kitchen window!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite mountain...I can see it from my bedroom!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are we!?
Thats a cracking spot, the water from the tarn was fine to drink (filtered)...I can't ever remember it drying up, some of the smaller dubs round it do tho'
