Today's walk: Walla Crag


Carlside and Skiddaw from Portinscale


looking over Derwent Isle to Robinson looking a bit like the Eiger!


the same boathouse looking to Grisedale Pike


looking to the head of Derwentwater


Stable Hills and the cliffs of Walla Crag


zooming in on Causey Pike with cloud rolling in behind


water weed left stranded as the water recedes in Calf Close Bay


a glimpse of Bassenthwaite Lake and Keswick from Great Wood


looking back down the track through Great Wood


new hazard on the steep track at the northern end of the wood


looking over Keswick as I climb above the trees


view south from Walla Crag summit ..


.. and zoomed in with King's How and Castle Crag in front of higher hills


Bleaberry Fell from the top of Walla Crag


Walla Crag summit looking to cloud capped Blencathra


looking west over Derwentwater from the icy top of Walla Crag


looking down Derwentwater to Bass Lake and Keswick


the path down to Rakefoot with Lonscale Fell and Blencathra ahead in cloud


Keswick from Springs Road
