The lower slopes of Lad Hows giving a good view of Haystacks and the distant fells.

Esther striding out. Crummock Water and Loweswater behind.

Gaining height, we are now above Whiteless Pike which we would be on later. Waterproofs on for the first time this week.

Grasmoor summit cairn. The incoming cloud put paid to me getting the references that I needed so perhaps third time lucky.

From Grasmoor we headed to Wandope, this is the view into Addacomb Hole.

Wandope summit, yet again not the view I need so another visit required.

We headed to Whiteless Pike where we met the only other Society member who we recognised during the week. He was heading to Wandope and can just be seen on Thirdgill Head Man.

Whiteless Pike with our ascent route up Lad Hows to Grasmoor behind.

From near Whiteless Breast, the scene back to Whiteless Pike and Third Gill Head Man.

Down below we spotted what looked like a post office queue on a Thursday heading to Rannerdale Knotts, exactly where we were heading.

Fortunately the crowd decided the route to the top was a bit much so we did have the ridge to ourselves.

The summit of Rannerdale Knotts and a murky Buttermere.

A Yellowhammer in Rannerdale.
