Bassenthwaite Lake with Binsey beyond from the start at Noble Knott

on the forest trail from Noble Knott

looking back towards Bass Lake after leaving the forest

bare larches in front of the massed conifers of Whinlatter Forest

more larches with Skiddaw in cloud beyond

a gate to be climbed to reach the open fellside ..

.. and beyond a track to join the Braithwaite to Grisedale Pike path

on the main track looking towards Crag Hill and Grisedale Pike up in the clouds

in the other direction the track leads to the top of Kinn

Causey Pike, Scar Crags, Sail and Outerside seen over Coledale from the track

Skiddaw with its top in the clouds from Kinn

zooming in over Derwentwater, Bleaberry Fell and High Seat to a bit of snow on Helvellyn

a fleeting patch of blue sky above Derwentwater with the Helvellyn ridge beyond

looking east from the east ridge of Kinn

zooming in on Keswick with Portinscale in front and Great Mell Fell behind

further down the ridge approaching the forest

zooming in on Causey Pike and Stile End from the ridge

a carpet of pine needles on the forest track looking back towards Causey Pike ..

.. and onwards towards Noble Knott

trackside trees

another glimpse of Bass Lake as the track approaches Noble Knott
