Today's walk: Rydal to Grasmere


the footbridge over the River Rothay at Rydal


an autumnal tree near the foot of Rydal Water with the slopes of Loughrigg Fell behind


looking back down Rydal Water from the lakeside path


zooming in on the island and the boathouse


Nab Cottage reflected and framed by trees


Silver How and the weir out of Grasmere from Loughrigg Terrace


Grasmere from above the weir


looking back along Loughrigg Terrace to Nab Scar


Grasmere from the terrace looking through Dunmail Raise to Lonscale Fell


unusual design of wall and fence at the entrance to Deerbolts Wood


track in Deerbolts Wood


two deer in Deerbolts Wood - spot their eyes


looking towards the outflow from Grasmere from the shore


Helm Crag from the shore at the south end of Grasmere


Silver How from the same spot


the weir flowing out of Grasmere


looking north up Grasmere on a tranquil morning


Seat Sandal


Helm Crag with Steel Fell and Dunmail Raise behind


zooming in on the east shore


looking back along the shore to Loughrigg Fell


Helm Crag and Seat Sandal with the island in front


zooming in on Helm Crag and the island


the island with Seat Sandal behind


the first people met on the walk just where the track turns away from the lake


the same tree looking back towards the lake


an unpleasant walk on a busy road ends the walk - this roadside tree is some consolation
