Easter Sunday

Today's walk: Catbells


Swinside and Skiddaw from the start up the path up Catbells north ridge


Blencathra and Derwentwater from the path


zooming in over Keswick to Blencathra


zooming in on a part of the nearer shore


the foot of Derwentwater and the foot of the ridge


looking over Newlands Valley to Causey Pike and Grisedale Pike


looking into Borrowdale from the ridge of Catbells


heading towards the summit cone of Catbells ..


.. which is looking a bit like an anthill


looking down on the lower part of the ridge


Catbells summit


looking east over Derwentwater from the summit


Hindscarth, Robinson, Red Pike and the Newlands Valley from the top ..


.. and the same view with a bit more action ..


Borrowdale from the south ridge of Catbells


zooming in on Derwentwater from the ridge


descending to Hause Gate with Borrowdale below


on the improved path between Hause Gate and Borrowdale


cloud building over Skiddaw Little Man, Lonscale Fell and the foot of Derwentwater


the path down onto Catbells terrace with Skiddaw ahead


Blencathra from Catbells terrace


Brandlehow Point from Catbells terrace


looking over Derwentwater to Blencathra from Catbells terrace


looking back to the head of Derwentwater and Grange Fell from Catbells terrace


Carl Side and Skiddaw from Catbells terrace


Loveliest of trees the cherry now is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride wearing white for Eastertide.
