Today's walk (Keswick rambling club): Dockray - Watermillock Common - Birkett Fell - Hart Side - White Stones - Glencoyne - Aira Force - Dockray


looking back down on Dockray


the ascent through soft snow onto Common Fell


Dowthwaite Head


on the broad ridge of Watermillock Common


Birkett Fell summit cairn


somewhere between Hart Side and White Stones ..


.. the snow starts to get icy


dropping off White Stones with Sheffield Pike very faintly ahead


Glencoyne from the ridge


Birkhouse Moor and Glenridding mines from the ridge


Sheffield Pike


contemplating the treacherous path on the flanks of Sheffield Pike ..


.. and instead opting for a direct descent into Glencoyne


a glimpse of Ullswater on the way down


looking back to Glencoyne Head


Ullswater from Glencoyne


Place Fell from Glencoyne


the old Glencoyne farmhouse


sun on Hartsop Dodd with Caudale Moor behind from the shore of Ullswater


Place Fell from Glencoyne Park


Sheffield Pike from Glencoyne Park


sun and snow on the north end of the High Street ridge seen across Ullswater


Aira Force


Birks, St Sunday Crag and Fairfield from the path above Aira Force
