A glorious day - fresh, practically no wind and sunshine. The Lake District positively glowed in tones of amber and russet. A good circular walk and I am always amazed by how, although it isn't exactly 'peaky', High Raise as the highest point in the Central Fells, affords such spectacular views - stunning today!
 |
| An early start in beautiful light....we parked at the bottom of Dunmail Raise and headed through Grasmere towards the Easedale Tarn path. |
 |
| Sourmilk Ghyll, which empties from the tarn shone in the distance. |
 |
| Getting closer... |
 |
| Autumn. |
 |
| My favourite Juniper tree ... |
 |
| Easedale Tarn ...the path to Blea Rigg goes up to the left from the tarn... |
 |
| We missed the path and took a more direct route up onto Blea Rigg! |
 |
| The Blea Rigg ridge. |
 |
| After Blea Rigg as you climb Pavey Ark and the Langdale fells come into view.... |
 |
| Looking towards Sergeant Man. |
 |
| It's always nice to see Club Mosses. |
 |
| Looking back towards Sergeant Man as we headed to High Raise. |
 |
| High Raise looking towards Great Gable in the distance. |
 |
| Looking towards Skiddaw - top right. |
 |
| Zooming in ...Bassenthwaite in the distance. |
 |
| ...and Fleetwith Pike and Honister. |
 |
| And then a long ridge walk down over Tarn Crag. |
 |
| Tarn Crag. |
 |
| Herdie. |
 |
| Traditional gate stoops... |
 |
| The path off the ridge and into Grasmere along Far Easedale Ghyll was really nice, if not a little hard on the soles of the feet after a long, but excellent day. |
