I did a short walk from Threlkeld into Gate Gill in the hope the cloud would lift off Blencathra.

Middle Tongue, Gate Gill.

Zeta ready for a dip.

Old mine level Gate Gill.

Gate Gill. The water has been channelled under the mine spoil heap.

I then headed to the Field centre to the west of Threlkeld. St. John's in the Vale catches the light.

After leaving the car park there soon is a fine view of Latrigg.

Lonscale Fell.

Great Calva and the Glenderaterra valley.

Waterfall in Sinen Gill.

Skiddaw House with Bakestall behind.

The remnants of the stone man as I head over to Roughten Gill.

Upper waterfalls in Roughten Gill.

Roughten Gill and Lonscale Fell.

After a bit of "bog-trotting", Zeta is the first to reach the cairn at the highest point of Mungrisdale Common. (I hesitate to call it a summit or a top.) Bowscale Fell in cloud shadow behind.

Blencathra still shrouded in cloud behind the cairn.

Heading West off the fell takes you past the second stone man....

..and then the Cloven Stone. I continues west past The Stake to pick up the path from Skiddaw House and head south.

Afternoon light. Helvellyn range on the far left and Steel fell away in the distance on the right.

Behind Latrigg the sun sinks over the North western fells.
