I leave my bike at Springs Farm just where the rough track begins

the recent windy weather has brought a tree down on the track

Walla Crag from the ascent track

Blencathra from the track above Rakefoot ..

.. and again from the northern end of the summit ridge of Walla Crag

Skiddaw and Keswick from the ridge

a stormy sky looking towards the sun and Bleaberry Fell

Skiddaw and Keswick from the ridge ..

.. and again as sun strikes the fell

Lonscale Fell and Blencathra from the ridge

stormy sky heading towards the summit

zooming in on Skiddaw from the summit

looking over Derwentwater to the Coledale fells from the summit

Blencathra from the summit

looking south through the Jaws of Borrowdale to the highest fells

sun now on Keswick with Skiddaw behind

zooming in on Skiddaw on the way back to Rakefoot

the sky over Skiddaw and Lonscale Fell

Blencathra from the descent path - note the plane

zooming in on the plane and Blencathra

Lonscale Fell and Blencathra from the descent path

Skiddaw and Lonscale Fell from the gate above Rakefoot

very few leaves left on this oak below Rakefoot
