Blencathra Sept 27th 2015

Probably the last chance I would get for a trip to the Lakes this year, as the builders are coming back next week and we will be busy with the new kitchen. Excellent weather for walking - slightly cloudy with some wonderful autumn sunshine poking through the clouds.



I had planned to do some of the Ulldale fells North of Skiddaw but at the last minute (driving on the A66) I glanced up at Blencathra and decided to change the plans.

Causey Pike in the distance

Halls Fell

From the summit I had a stroll along the ridge to get some pics of Sharp Edge and Scales Tarn.

Return by the same route.
