Today's walk: Faulds Brow (Wainwright's Outlying Fells p210)


I started from the quarry on Faulds Brow with the northern fells in cloud


a vague view northwards to the Solway from the top of Faulds Brow


Carrock Fell and High Seat in cloud from the cairn on Faulds Brow


the start of the lane to Whelpo


looking down to Caldbeck amongst the trees from the lane


fields east of the lane


unusual sheep (or are they goats?) browsing beside the lane


a better route is now made by not crossing this bridge at Whelpo ..


.. but following a new(?) path north of Whelpo Beck


waterfall above the Howk gorge


the old bobbin mill in the Howk


English Heritage impression of how it looked in its heyday


another old building beside the bobbin mill


Caldbeck village pond ..


.. and again looking to the church


Caldbeck from the track up onto Caldbeck Common


zooming in on Carrock Fell from Caldbeck Common


the extensive view north east towards Carlisle ..


.. and again emphasising the stormy sky


back at the start now in sun looking to Carrock Fell
