Lake District, Grisdale Pike & Outerside from Portinscale.

Grisdale Pike on a cold, damp and windy day, was going to go onto Crag Hill but had to drop down the valley due to the high winds ending up on outerside before dropping back down to Braithwaite.

6hrs.

Braithwaite, Portinscale and Keswick.

Outerside over there.

Lake District, Helm Crag to Calf Crag from Grasmere.

A wet and windy weekend in the lakes resulted in an aborted camp at Baysbrown Farm due to a storm during the night (snapped tent pole) so only managed to fit this one walk in and it rained the whole day.

I was going to head for Easedale Tarn but due to the worsening weather decided to head down the valley back to Grasmere.

5hrs.

An almost deserted campsite.

Free parking in the layby just outside Grasmere.

Yorkshire Dales, Ingleborough from Ingleton.

North Wales, Carnedd y Filliast to Y Garn from Marchlyn Moar.

This is a fine ridge walk on a clear day affording marvelous views over Snowdonia. Bit of a slog up the road to Marchlyn Moar reservoir but once thats done the fun starts.

6 hrs

On the road not far from the parking area.

Straight on to Carnedd y Filliast up there.

North Wales, Lliwedd Copper Mine from Bethania.

A visit to the ruined Copper Mine below Lliwedd Bach on Snowdon Today. I spotted this mine while on the Snowdon Horseshoe and promised to pay a visit one day. Today was ideal as the mist was down and all the high tops were covered.

6hrs

Leaving the car park at Bethania and heading up The Watkin Path.

About a mile and a half up the Watkin path a bridge can be seen down to the right which we crossed that lead up to the mine.

Yorkshire Dales, Grassington Moor from Grassington.

Poor weather again this weekend so a fairly low level walk today to visit the lead mines on Grassington Moor.

6 hrs.

A damp Grassington.

Looking back to Grassington from near Conistone.

Peak District, Bleaklow, Grinah and Barrow Stones from King's Tree, Upper Derwent Valley.

A tour of the stones today at the very top of the Derwent Valley, nice and remote and very quiet. Nice to get out again after the very wet weather during January and February.

6hrs.

King's Tree at the top of the Derwent Valley only accessible by car during the week, weekends it's bus only.

Slippery Stones about a mile from King's Tree.
