We planned to do a walk involving Sheffield Pike, but other than our parking place, we hadn't really got any fixed idea what the route would be
 |
| Ullswater from the way up to Seldom Seen |
 |
| We stood by the cottages for quite a while watching 3 reds chasing each other away from a feeder |
 |
| Seldom Seen |
 |
| If you look closely there are 2 reds in this picture. One on a branch immediately above the apex of the roof and the other, flashing it's white belly on the wall by the trunk of the tree |
 |
| On with the walk - the hanging valley of Glencoyne is just out of view |
 |
| Onwards and upwards. It's been a while since Jay has joined us for a walk but today at last we have found a date which suits us all! |
 |
| Into the hanging valley |
 |
| Looking back down into the valley as we make our way up the side of Sheffield Pike. By now we had made our minds up that our decent would be along the balcony path on the other side of the valley |
 |
| Until we got to Nick Head when we had a sudden change of mind and went down to Greenside mines instead |
 |
| we'd had 3 Squirrels at Seldom Seen and now we had 3 (noisy) Grouse at Greenside |
 |
| This contrail caught my eye |
 |
| Looking down Glenridding beck to the village |
 |
| Lunch on the way down |
 |
| We joined the newly named Ullswater Way to follow the lake shore back to the car. |
 |
| Time for a quick swim - this is the very spot where Breeze learnt to swim a little over 5 years ago! |
 |
| A very smart new bridge on the newly named path. Which leads us nicely back to the car |
