Today's walk: Clints Crags (Wainwright's Outlying Fells p204)
I hope to do all the Outlying Fell Walks in 2008


Blindcrake village green


another shot in Blindcrake


the lane at the start of the walk - more like a river today


looking back down the lane


the gate at the top - blocked in Wainwright's time but now with a stile


Ullock Pike, Dodd and Bassenthwaite Lake from the slopes of Clints Crags


Watch Hill with Mellbreak faintly beyond from the slopes of Clints Crags


looking back down on Blindcrake from the slopes of Clints Crags


Binsey from Clints Crags summit


limestone escarpment


windswept tree on the limestone escarpment


Thackray Cottage - much decayed since Wainwright's picture of it


stiles on all the route now but they are very slippery on this damp day


towards the eastern end of the route


lane at the eastern end of the route


Isel and Isel Hall from the return westwards


River Derwent from the return westwards
