the Howgill fells and the M6 from the ridge


looking back down the ridge just before entering the cloud


mist on the summit of Grayrigg Forest


the two masts ahead as I drop below the cloud


the shelter cairn on Whinfell Beacon


zooming in on the Lakeland skyline from Whinfell Beacon


looking south to Arnside Knott and the Kent estuary with Kendal to the right


Grayrigg Forest from Whinfell Beacon - now clear so it's worth a return over the top


returning past the masts


looking south from the slopes of Grayrigg Forest


zooming back to Whinfell Beacon with the Lakeland fells beyond


the Howgills from the now clear top of Grayrigg Forest


looking east to the Pennines from the top of Grayrigg Forest
