Summer really has arrived. It's scorching in the valleys. We park up on the outskirts of Grasmere and head up Tongue Gill
 |
| As soon as we start to climb, there is a nice breeze to keep us cool. Another nice Breeze keeps coming back to see what's taking us so long as well! |
 |
| We are heading for Grisedale Hause - the dip in the skyline, where we are aiming to stop for lunch before making the steep climb up onto Fairfield |
 |
| Looking back into Tongue Gill. We have climbed up the path you can see on the lft of the gill |
 |
| Grisedale Tarn comes into view as we reach Grisedale Hause |
 |
| Time for a lunch stop (and a cuddle) |
 |
| It's a steep climb up from the Hause |
 |
| But the views are never ending today |
 |
| Helvellyn from Fairfield |
 |
| Looking west as we walk over Great Rigg |
 |
| With zoom |
 |
| Looking back you can see the distinctive pyramid of Catsycam in the background |
 |
| Ahead to the left is Heron Pike and to the right is Stone Arthur, which is the way we will go and then descend back into Grasmere |
 |
| After all that it's home for a quick shower, slip into something more comfortable before a beer in the garden |
 |
| and a snooze. |
