 Raven Tarn 5.30 AM. After a fine night i made an early start to try and beat the bank holiday crowds.
My pitch reflected in the tarn.
The Scafells and Slight Side catch the rising sun.
Zooming in on Dow Crag and Pen.
Looking across to Scafell Pike from the Great Moss.
Looking down from the steep climb up the side of Dow Crag.
It's a long way down from the top of Pen.
Pen is a fascinating place, with the layers of sedimentary rocks.
These swirls always remind me of an Aztec or Mayan carving.
From Pen you have a rough but straightforward scramble to Scafell Pike.
"He's not coming up here, is he ?" " He is you know"
Scotland in the distance from Scafell Pike.
Broad Stand across Mickledore. You can just make out the fallen boulder at the top of Lords Rake.
Looking back down Lords Rake from near the Boulder.
A close up view of the boulder. I was shocked at how small the point of contact with the wall of the gully actually is. It looks like somebody should go up and give it a whack with a sledge-hammer.
Wastwater comes into view from the second descent on the rake.
The Mosedale Horseshoe from Scafell.
Looking back up to Scafell and Slight Side from Great How.
The Crags on Great How across the un-named tarn. |
