 Hindscarth on the left Robinson on the right with Scope End in the middle.
Catbells summit, looking down the ridge which i missed out on this time. It had actually started spotting with rain now which was a surprise as both the five day forecast and the MWIS had said it would be dry. I did an about turn and started along the ridge to Maiden Moor.
Luckily the weather picked up and the views got better and better as i walked up to High Spy. The steep path up Dale Head is something to look forward to!
Looking back down the Newlands valley with the ridge walked so far on the right. Skiddaw in the background.
Buttermere and the High Stile ridge come in to view on the walk to Hindscarth.
The view from the Northern top of Hindscarth. The weather has really picked up now.
On Robinson now with Mellbreak and the Loweswater fells in the haze.
A real jumble of fells looking south from Robinson.
I had intended to camp on High Snockrigg or even push on to Knott Rigg but
the steep climb up to Robinson had done me in so i found this little ledge on
the way down to Buttermere Moss and set up for the night.
My camp was directly facing the setting sun so i got some lovely views as the evening drew in. Here Pillar, seen behind Gamlin End on High Crag catches the light.
On the other side of the valley the sun lights up a little evening mist over Whiteless Pike and Wandope.
Crummock Water and Loweswater at the end of the day.
And again.
