Today's walk (Keswick rambling club): Carrock Fell - High Pike


a very small fell pony contemplates following us onto the fell ..


.. as we climb through a thin layer of mist onto Carrock Fell


the slanting path up the east face of Carrock Fell


looking back down the path to mist in the valley below


zooming in on the Mell Fells from the path


mist in the Eden Valley from the east top of Carrock Fell


Skiddaw from Carrock Fell over a part of the wall of the fort


looking southeast over the Mell Fells from the top of Carrock Fell


Blencathra with Bowscale Fell in front from the summit of Carrock Fell


leaving Carrock Fell summit towards High Pike


High Pike summit


layers of mist over the Solway looking north from High Pike


zooming in south to Bowfell, Esk Pike, Scafell Pike and the tip of Great Gable


leaving High Pike northwards


shadows of the party on the bank of Short Grain


looking over Short Grain to Brae Fell


Caldbeck from the path through the mines on the northern slopes of High Pike


following the path above Nether Row


stepping out through the bog as the path fades


looking down on Calebreck


Carrock Fell comes back into sight


the final descent to Caldbeck Common
