My route took me up alongside  Greenhead Beck.

From the ruin looking down the valley to the distant Coniston Fells.

It was a very warm day and the sound of the water was quite cooling.

And great for a swim.

Grasmere from the slopes of the fell.

A fine viewpoint.

Stone Arthur summit, a point frequently by-passed as walkers head up towards Great Rigg and Fairfield. from here we had the simple task of heading back down to Grasmere.

A pair of Wheatears, a juvenile on the left with the adult male on the right.

Watched from above.

Back to the gate at the head of the lane.
