It's a stunning morning, but it's not going to last all day. We parked at the top of Hartsop village and then it's an in your face climb up the fellside.
 |
| We are going to follow the wall on the right up onto the ridge and then walk up the ridge onto Hartsop Dodd |
 |
| Starting the climb |
 |
| It's a real pull up here,but with views like this, who cares how often we need to stop for a breather. Ullswater is just appearing up the valley |
 |
| Brothers Water |
 |
| Hartsop below Angletarn Pikes |
 |
| Just as you get to the top - you realise it isn't the top! |
 |
 |
| One man and his Dog.................. and a pretty good view |
 |
| As we reach the Atkinson Memorial on Caudale Moor we can see how the weather is brewing in the south. If you try really hard you can just make out Windermere somewhere between Breeze and the bright spot in the sky |
 |
| Monarch of Kirkstone Pass |
 |
| We had planned to go from Stony Cove Pike across Threshthwaite Mouth and onto Gray Crag,but having seen the weather approaching from the south, we decided to take the steep descent route into (say it without smiling if you can) Pasture Bottom. Seen below us here. |
 |
| The climb down Threshthwaite crag isn't the most pleasant, but it's worth the hassle to walk out through a valley as beautiful as this. |
 |
| Nearly back at the car. Anyone want to give a spaniel a lift home? |
