Today's walk (Keswick rambling club): Gowbarrow Fell


a glimpse of Aira Force through the trees


looking down at the bridge below the falls from the one above them


a more tranquil part of Aira Beck above the falls


a sprinkling of snow on Great Dodd


the isolated house of Millses


on the path towards Ulcat Row


Great Mell Fell from Norman Crag ..


.. and swinging east towards Little Mell Fell


approaching the hamlet of Ulcat Row


Great Mell Fell from the start of the path onto Gowbarrow Fell


looking back over Ulcat Row to Great Dodd


looking over Ulcat Row to Blencathra


Great Mell Fell from the wallside path onto Gowbarrow Fell


zooming in over Matterdale End to Blencathra


a glimpse of Ullswater from the final ascent to Gowbarrow Fell


Little Mell Fell from the windy summit of Gowbarrow Fell


Great Mell Fell with Carrock Fell beyond from the summit


descending from Gowbarrow Fell with Ullswater and Hallin Fell ahead


lunch stop at the ruined shooting box


Beda Fell with the High Street ridge behind from the lunch stop


Ullswater from the path above Yew Crag ..


.. which turns this dramatic corner above Ullswater ..


.. to reveal the upper part of Ullswater ahead


hailstorm ahead moving down Ullswater ..


.. soon passing to brighter skies behind


back in the woods around Aira Beck


the bridge below Aira Force


rainbow as we approach the bridge ..


.. and another below Aira Force
