Molly is coming with us today, so our route is chosen to suit her. We very rarely venture onto the really popular fells, because we would much rather see no-one else on our walks than join with the crowd. However, it is a bit unfair on Jay to ignore them completely, so we decide to pop onto Blencathra before the real tourist season gets underway
 |
| The most Molly friendly way up we decided, was up Blease Fell. It also provides cracking views each time you pause for breath. Tewet Tarn and High Rigg seen here in the middle of St John in the Vale |

 |
| Keswick comes into view, this side of Derwentwater |
 |
| Zooming in |
 |
| Pausing for breath on Knowe Crags |
 |
| Lonscale Fell (behind Breeze) with Skiddaw beyond |
 |
| The distinctive Saddle |
 |
 |
| The tarn between HallsFell top and Atckinson Pike. Guess who wants a swim? |
 |
| After stopping for lunch on Foule Crag, we head over Mungrisdale Common |
 |
| Famed for its bogs! |
 |
| Molly has a roll, thankfully not in anything smelly! |
 |
| Heading for Roughten Gill |
