Everything pointed to a possible temperature inversion today. Not a full blown one, but probably worth getting out of bed early all the same. So we did and we headed to Glencoyne.
 |
| We left the car at about 8:30am and walked up past Seldom Seen Cottages |
 |
| As we gain ground the mist which had been beginning to hang in the valley as we started becomes visible behind us |
 |
| Out in the sunshine and it's a top coat warmer - and hat and gloves warmer too |
 |
| Through the Intake Wall |
 |
| Into Glencoyne |
 |
| Ullswater is under there |
 |
| From Nick Head we make our way up Sheffield Pike |
 |
| Heading for the summit |

 |
| We decided to head over Glencoyne Head to Hart Crag |
 |
 |
| A helicopter hovers over Blencathra! |

 |
| Then on to Birkett Fell |
 |
| Before popping over the wall to shelter from the cool breeze with a cold Breeze for a spot of lunch |
 |
| Then we follow the wall down to the Balcony path |
 |
| Hello! |
 |
| But instead of taking the path we continue across it and make our way down the steep slope towards the Dam over Glencoyne Beck |

 |
| Crossing the Dam |
 |
| The mist has all cleared now |

 |
| Nearly back at the car |
Lovely set of photos Rachel, a couple look similar to mine! Thanks for the blue pool photo :-)What a wonderful day!
