Today's walk: Grisedale Pike


starting up on the path from Braithwaite


Bassenthwaite Lake from the path


Braithwaite with Swinside behind from the path


looking back down the east ridge of Grisedale Pike as I climb into the mist


looking back somewhere on the east ridge


Grisedale Pike summit with sun but no view
I was hoping for sunshine on top having seen it from home earlier this morning


descent by the northeast ridge after a long wait for a view


cloud starting to clear ahead on the northeast ridge


Whinlatter Fell clear of cloud


Hobcarton End with blue sky behind


more mist on the descent into Whinlatter Forest


lots of felling in Whinlatter Forest


track in Whinlatter Forest


zooming in on sunny Latrigg and Great Mell Fell as I emerge from the trees


looking east over Braithwaite from the foot of the east ridge of Grisedale Pike


zooming in on Keswick with Great Mell Fell and Clough Head in cloud beyond


Bassenthwaite Lake from the ridge


zooming in on Bass Lake and Binsey


the path down to Braithwaite with Bleaberry Fell now visible beyond Swinside ahead
