today's walk: Slate Fell


looking south to Grisedale Pike, Hopegill Head and Whiteside from the start above Cockermouth


the ridge onto Slate Fell is dominated by scattered trees


another view south to the Coledale fells


looking back down the ridge to Cockermouth - everyone else on the fell had at least one dog


Cockermouth from the trees near the summit


zooming up Lorton Vale to Grisedale Pike, Ladyside Pike and Mellbreak


view south over fields from Slate Fell summit


Sale Fell from the summit with Skiddaw behind in cloud


looking back at the trees from the true summit


looking down on the A66 with Sale Fell and Skiddaw beyond


Watch Hill from Slate Fell


the hill with Cockermouth golf course on top from Slate Fell


tree on the northern slopes of Slate Fell


path back through the woods


the Coledale fells again as I rejoin the ridge


back in the suburbs of Cockermouth
