Sunset on Bowscale

We are in the middle of a heatwave, with temperatures reaching over 30'c regularly. Far too hot to be on the fells in that heat, and far too hot to take a mad spaniel anywhere much. We think an evening walk seems like a plan and then we think about sunset
Spur of the minute when to go and where to go. We decide on Bowscale via Bullfell Beck and leave the car somewhere around 8:20pm

Lovely soft evening light

She's pleased to be out, it's been way too hot for dogs just lately

Someone's got a good evening for a ride. That's Great Dunn Fell with the golf ball, over on the Pennines


Nearing the top

Carrock Fell

We got to the top around 10-15 minutes before the sun was due to set. Needless to say we hadn't seen a soul














It was magical being up there and seeing the sun fall below the horizon, but made even more special when we started on our route back to the car

We hadn't planned this bit, but a full moon was rising ahead of us as we walked back down



The light is beginning to fade

It's nearly 11pm now. No need for the head torches we are carrying, it's a beautiful clear moonlit night.
That is one experience neither of us will forget. By pure luck we had picked a perfect evening.
