leaving Kirkby Stephen over Frank's Bridge

a double bridge over the dismantled railway

viaduct on the dismantled railway - now a footpath

walking beside Ladthwaite Beck

view north to the Vale of Eden and the very distant Lakeland fells

a mobile sheep shearing point

looking back to the sheep shearing point from the main track up Nine Standards Rigg

approaching the top with the Vale of Eden below

four of the nine cairns ..

.. quite tricky to get all nine in the picture

Kirkby Stephen from the two northernmost cairns

dodging the bog on the descent

the Vale of Eden and the Pennines from the descent route

High Pike Hill and Dukerdale from the descent route

back at the shearing spot the fleeces are now being taken away

Wild Boar Fell and a wild boar waymarker

last leg of the descent with Kirkby Stephen church ahead
