Cross Street - the start of the walk from Windermere Railway Station

Droomer Drive with School Knott appearing in the distance

a stile into fields here according to AW but at least the road name is encouraging

onto open fell at last with School Knott summit ahead

looking back down the path from the slopes of School Knott

the upper stile on AW's map is now replaced by a kissing gate

Windermere, lake and village, from School Knott

the view north from School Knott

summit outcrop, School Knott

Grandsire and Schoolknott Tarn

School Knott from the open gate in the wall which blocked direct access to Grandsire in AW's day

a spot of sunshine looking north from the slopes of Grandsire

School Knott and a bit of Windermere from the slopes of Grandsire

summit outcrop, Grandsire

zooming over Orrest Head to sunlight on a distant ridge

zooming over Windermere to the Langdale Pikes just appearing out of cloud

AW's conspicuous tree with the wall gap replaced by a new stile and the nameless summit behind

fields southeast from the nameless summit

clouds breaking westwards from the nameless summit

the nameless summit from the slopes of School Knott

back to School Knott for a panorama westwards but all the higher fells are hidden in cloud

zooming in on Lingmoor Fell and the Langdale Pikes

Schoolknott Tarn looking east

AW's copse of trees now reduced to two

the charming path to Old Droomer

Old Droomer

I avoided the housing estate on a bridleway to the main road - looking back to School Knott
