Today's walk (Keswick rambling club): Swirls - Raise - White Side - Helvellyn - Nethermost Pike - Dollywaggon Pike - Wythburn - Swirls


climbing above Thirlmere with Skiddaw in the distance


Stybarrow Dodd from Raise


leaving White Side with Catstycam beyond ..


.. and heading for Helvellyn and its Lower Man


looking back from the ridge of Lower Man to White Side and Raise


the Coniston fells from Helvellyn Lower Man


Helvellyn summit with Striding Edge beyond


Raven flying through the mist which very rapidly engulfed us


Striding Edge and Red Tarn come out of the mist


Striding Edge from the south ridge of Helvellyn


heading for Nethermost Pike ..


.. as the mist disperses


Grisedale and St Sunday Crag from High Crag


Ullswater from Dollywaggon Pike


flying ants so thick that the camera has focussed on them instead of the fells to the west


descending west towards Steel Fell


tea stop on the Wythburn path overlooking Thirlmere


descending the path to Wythburn
