Bowscale Fell

A shorter walk than usual as we don't want to wear Breeze's boot out - her foot has healed nicely since our last fell walk, but it hasn't had chance to harden yet, so the boot is a necessary precaution

We parked at Bowscale and walked along the road to Mungrisdale. Then it was steep, steep, steep up Raven Crag. Mungrisdale an be seen below us (that's Mr B's rucksack)

The boot doesn't make any difference to Breeze's speed or where she goes. She does look a bit embarrassed about it though doesn't she!

Striding out along Bowscale Fell. That's Blencathra with a cloud just hiding the summit

We are above Bowscale tarn at this point. We will descend along the ridge that runs from left to right in this picture

Bowscale Tarn comes into view

And here it is from a bit lower down

Mr B and Jay spot something on the rock

It's a cup and ring mark. Prehistoric art, the likes of which can be found all over the North of England and Scotland

From the tarn, it's a nice gentle walk back to the car which is down there in the sunshine. just 6 miles today, but a lovely walk in another of our favourite places minutes from home.
