Reston Scar from Staveley

soon after sunrise from the slopes of Reston Scar

looking back down the path from Staveley

the track swings up eastwards ..

.. and then westwards towards the summit

some snow on the mist covered fells to the north ..

.. but brilliant sunshine on Reston Scar

Kemp Tarn looking east

looking back down the ridge of Reston Scar

the highest top of Hugill Fell in brilliant sunshine

Staveley from the ridge of Reston Scar

Reston Scar summit looking west ..

.. and looking north to High Knott and Hugill Fell

AW says that impassable walls block the way to Hugill Fell but this new gate ..

.. is too inviting to ignore ..

.. and gives access to the highest top of Hugill Fell (not visited by AW)

looking north from Hugill Fell summit ..

.. and zooming in on Yoke and Kentmere

looking east to the cairned top which AW visits with Brunt Knott beyond

view west with the Langdale Pikes appearing in the distance

zooming in on the Langdale Pikes as the threatened bad weather approaches

a new gate in the wall corner links the two parts of Hugill Fell

High Knott catching the last of the sun

black rain clouds rolling in over the Coniston fells ..

.. and over the Langdale Pikes

the Kentmere Valley from the east top of Hugill Fell

looking down into Kentmere from the east top

looking west from the big cairn on Hugill Fell with the fells now almost lost in mist

Reston Scar from Hugill Fell - the new gate can be seen just below the top

looking back at the big cairn from the descent path

this vague path is the one used both ways by AW

the path descending into the Kentmere Valley
