| We've been to Caldbeck for a haircut and we are heading onto the hills but our initial plan changes due to a road closure! So for a change we head off from Nether Row |
 |
| The drought is playing havoc with Breeze's paws. All dry underfoot = too much friction. Her paw is OK but it is just showing signs of wear so the boot is preventative. |
 |
| Pausing for breath. It's a warm day |
 |
| and we're carrying enough water for all of us. |
 |
 |
| Reaching the top of High Pike. Breeze recognises the restaurant; that's where we like to go for our Christmas lunch. |
 |
| High Pike Summit |
 |
| Leaving the summit off path we are aiming to pick up Clints Gill |
 |
| The Heather is just starting to bloom. It smells lovely |
 |
| Just in front of me at this point is a sheepfold. As it came into view it reminded me of our friend David, who has a bit of a thing for sheepfolds. David used to run a website which was an amazing resource for information on walks in the Lakes. I was quietly thinking to myself "I wonder how David and Jennifer are? I really miss his website" when Jeff piped up with "Has David ever got his website going again?". Great minds think alike! |

| Posing Wheatear |
 |
| Posing Family |
 |
| Dale Beck and a spaniel (who has just spotted a dipper but I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of it) |
 |
| Two boots by now - again precautionary |
 |
| Heading back to Nether Row |
