Ullswater and Place Fell from the point where I parked the car.

 The path passes directly through the garden in front of the classic lakeland farmstead of Glencoyne Farm.

Rising above the farm there is a fine view back to Ullswater.

There were great views to be had from the steep ascent.

Soon out onto the open fell. Since the original map in the Pictorial Guide this stretch of wall in the foreground has been rebuilt complete with new gate.

 Glencoyne Head from the cluster of large boulders indicated by AW in his map.

 The burst dam on Glencoyne Beck.

Passing many bags of stones ready for footpath repairs, repairs needed after the heavy rains of last Autumn where the land has slipped.

The ridge off Green Side.

Approaching Nick Head.

Nick Head and a view over towards a rather dull Helvellyn Group. From here instead of turning up to the left and onto Sheffield Pike I had first to drop down into the valley to investigate the old Sticks Reservoir.

Raise through the gap of the demolished dam of Sticks reservoir. It took me a good 3/4 of an hour to find the location that I needed here. No thanks to the fact that the water which AW drew has now all but gone.

Green Side Quarry.

There is a vast amount of old industrial workings hereabouts, almost replicating a natural moraine field.

Back up above Nick Head a short spell of sun lights Sheffield Pike. Our earlier route of ascent can be seen just above the shadow line.

The old Iron Boundary post with Sheffield Pike summit behind.

The marker post in remarkably good condition indicating the Marshall Estate of Patterdale. One of the reasons that this post is not rusted is that its used by sheep as a rubbing post and possibly the oil from their fleeces gives a protective coat to the iron.

Catstycam and a patch of evening light.

Sheffield Pike Summit.

Zooming in on the sunlit face of St Sunday Crag.

Sheep on the edge.

 The other boundary post. This one for the Howard Estate of Greystoke sits on Heron Pike and as usual the "name" is on the inward side of the boundary marker.

The earlier version of the iron post can be found on the south east ridge of Heron Pike though not marked by AW on his maps.

We were now heading for Glenridding Dodd seen here across the col.

Evening clouds above Heron Pike.

A short climb got us to the summit of Glenridding Dodd.

From the summit we re-traced our steps back to the col and then followed the wall back over into Glencoyne.

Now back above Glencoyne where we took the path at the foot of Glencoyne Wood.

 Soon we pass the neat row of cottages at the unusually named Seldom Seen.

A short stroll down through the trees lead us back to the car parked at lane end. A fine way to spend a couple of hours on the fells.
