Wythburn and Steel Fell

There has been very little fell walking in our household recently and just lately we seem to have been away more than we have been at home. Having finally caught up with the pressing things that need to be done, we actually manage a bit of a walk today.

Parking up at Steel End we walk across some meadows 

She can see a stride at full speed that Dog, should have been a racehorse for definite

Beautiful Bog Asphodel, I don't think I've ever seen so much

Beautiful Breeze!

We crossed Wyth Burn at the bridge you can see below

And then followed it up

To Wythburn Head

Climbing up onto the ridge where we stop for a bite to eat

Hazy Views towards Grasmere. It's hot and humid although the haze is keeping the temperature lower. There is a bit of breeze on the tops too which helps

Steel Fell

We had a spot of sheep worrying as we headed across Steel Fell. This little lamb was convinced Breeze was Mam, and kept chasing her - she was a little worried to say the least!

King of all he surveys

We start to descend towards Steel End

The haze is clearing now but it's getting horribly hot as we drop down

Thirlmere

Looking back up Wythburn as we reach the road back to the car.

So good to be back on the fells, even if it was a short one! About 5 miles, but I think it would have been foolish to stay out any longer - too hot for a lunatic Spaniel by the time we got back to the car!
