Today's walk: Whit Fell (Wainwright's Outlying Fells p156)


Eskmeals viaduct from the col on the Corney Fell road - good weather coming in?


Kinmont Buck Barrow and Buck Barrow from the col and the gate at the end of the walk


the start of the path from the col


looking back down the path with Black Combe in cloud in the distance


heading up the wall towards Buck Barrow


Great Paddy Crag - not visited by AW but I decided to include it


Kinmont Buck Barrow from the cairn on Great Paddy Crag


the three tops of Buck Barrow from Great Paddy Crag


the Duddon estuary from the slopes of Buck Barrow


the two lower summits of Buck Barrow with the Duddon estuary beyond


Kinmont Buck Barrow from Buck Barrow summit cairn


the upper Duddon valley from Buck Barrow summit


there is now a clear little path heading to Whit Fell


zooming in on Walna Scar, White Maiden and Caw with The Pike in front


Buck Barrow from the path to Whit Fell


Whit Fell summit


Stainton Pike and Holehouse Tarn from Whit Fell


Buck Barrow from the cairn on Burn Moor


looking back at the featureless slopes of Burn Moor


Buck Barrow from the summit cairn of Kinmont Buck Barrow


a few seconds of vague view seawards before cloud settled down on the summit


Great Paddy Crag from the descent route


nearly back to the col with Black Combe still in cloud - Stoneside hill in front


on the way home near Holmrook ..
