Newlands Fells 10th-11th July 2009

Day two

Saturday was a lovely morning and it took a real effort to pack up and start walking. i could have sat and soaked in the views all day

Zooming in on Red Pike and the crazily steep path from Bleaberry Tarn.

The little ridge of Knott Rigg and Ard Crags are my next destination, but as in a lot of places in the Lakes you have to go down before you can go back up.

A close up of the view over Crummock Water, Loweswater and the coast.

Moss Beck on the way down to Newlands Hause.

Robinson from the slopes of Knott Rigg.

Whiteless Pike and Third Gill.

Looking along the ridge to Ard Crags. Causey Pike is the "knobble" at the end of the adjoining ridge, but to get there you guessed it you have to go down to get back up.

Looking back to Ard Crags from the Scar Crags to Causey Pike ridge.

Zooming in on Force Crag mine from Scar Crags.

Looking along to Causey Pike.

Derwentwater from Causey Pike.

Looking down from Causey pike the two little Wainwrights of Outerside and Barrow seemed tiny compared to the giant fells all around, but the views were great and i really enjoyed walking over them knowing that all the hard work had been done. This is Sail and Crag Hill from the top of Outerside.

Looking to the Northern Fells from Low Moss.

Barrow seen over Barrow door.

Looking back to where i started on Catbells. I headed straight down the side of Barrow in the direction of Rowling End where i joined the road and walked back to Little Town.
