Silver How, Grasmere

I'm rather behind with blogs as it's been, and we plan for it to be, rather busy...  On Tuesday we continued with the Wainwrights, going down to Grasmere, to do Silver How. The weather was 'atmospheric', which is my take on wet! Good views inbetween the wafts aand swirls of drizzle/ rain. A nice little top though and well worth doing again on a dry day with the sketchbook.

In Grasmere turn right by the church
 and follow the road to the lake where a finger post
signed Silver How leads up a lovely walled lane.

Some classic views over Rydal and Windermere.

One of the brief appearances of Langdale. 

The summit.

Descending towards Grasmere, after Brigstone Moss, with some lovely wall patterns.

Descending through a surprisingy large expanse of juniper woodland.

Juniper,  yellow mountain saxifrage, parsly fern and  stone bramble.
