Not long after setting out, Devoke Water comes into view. |
||

Water Crag, seen behind a very dry looking tarn. |

|

|
Just past the cairn on Woodend Height I took this picture of Yoadcastle. |

Whitfell, seen behind Holehouse Tarn. |
||
|

A view back along the ridge; I know it's not exactly a a ridge, but it's still a view back. |

|
Whitfell summit. |
||
|
|
||
|
From Whitfell I took an off path route down to the standing stone (here) and then continued more or less to the lowest point to the left of Hesk Fell. |
||
|
|
||
|
Looking down to Storthes. |
||
|
|
||
|
As I approached the northern end of Hesk Fell, Devoke Water came back into view. Today however, I took the slightly longer route back by heading around to the road near woodend. |
||
|
|
||
|
A close up of Woodend, well, part of it anyway. |
||
|
|
||
|
Heading down to the road; next to the tree. |

|
|
||
|
Woodend Bridge. |
||
|
|
||
|
You've never got a tin of black paint and a small brush when you need one. |
||
|
|
||
|
Next to the road you pass this old boundary stone - Ulpha & Birker. |
||
|
|
||
|
A close up of Birkerthwaite. |
||
|
|

|
And not so close. |
