A very enjoyable visit to this favourite spot, this time with the folks. I really can't believe how different two consecutive days can be - persistent rain and mist today! Glad we got out! I'm not going to repeat previous comments about the site - take a look at this for more views of the meltwater channel and this for an explanation and details of its formation.

| Parking up with views across to Skiddaw and High Pike. |
 |
| The meltwater channel. |
 |
| Lime kilns ...and hart's tongue fern. |
 |
| The beech trees are beginning to turn colour. |
 |
| A most spectacular wall winds its way along the channel. |
 |
| Even the pond vegetation is turning.... |
 |
| Wheatear...wrong side of the wire! It can't be long before it heads south. |
 |
| And no trip to Aughertree Fell would be complete without a trip to the pond and a scrat for fossils. |
