The Hawell Monument

 

Another view from the back of the monoment looking to the NW fells

 

 

With little height gained - the views have already opened up across to Derwentwater and Catbells

 

A little higher and the views are just as good

 

Taken from the path to Little Man, this is the view eastwards to Lonscale Fell and Blencathra beyond.

 

Superb cairn on the way to Little Man

 

Barb on Little Man

 

...and me on Little Man

 

The path to Skiddaw from Little Man

 

Skiddaw's south summit

 

Barb approaching the summit., Long Side and Ullock Pike are way below

 

Barb and Jed at Skiddaw summit

 

Near the summit is this direction plate

 

Looking to tne north east - and the Northern Fells

 

 

 

We met a couple with a St Bernard at the summit.

 

Its cold and here is the view back to Little Man

 

Zooming in on Derwent Water

 

Barb makes her way to Lonscale Fell

 

 

...but eventually the track is reached

 

This is the view from the path to Castlerigg Stone Circle looking to the Helvellyn ridge

 

Castlerigg Stone Circle in front of Blencathra

 

Jed at the Circle

 

...and Barb also

 

A lovely evening at Castlerigg

 

Evenings like this are few and far between. It was an evening we will remember for years to come

 

...and then it was dusk. ...the end of a long and enjoyable day
