 |
||||
| Kinniside Stone Circle just a couple of hundred metres away. It was restored in 1925 but archaeologists are unsure if it was original and not just a modern fake. | ||||
 |
||||
| Dent and the Cumbrian Coastline. | ||||
 |
||||
| Vast areas of conifers have been removed from the fellside. | ||||
 |
||||
| Looking down to Lankrigg Moss. | ||||
 |
||||
| The summit of Grike. | ||||
 |
||||
| Crag Fell from within the shelter on Grike. The wind had really picked up when we were on here, and to make things worse the rain started. | ||||
 |
||||
| Crag Fell summit cairn. | ||||
 |
||||
| Ennerdale Water from Crag Fell. This was the best view we got from this fell as the cloud descended on us for the next half hour or so. | ||||
 |
||||
| Lank Rigg summit cairn and Trig Col. | ||||
 |
||||
| Whoap Beck. The route we took in the footpath you can see heading along the valley. | ||||
 |
||||
| Parts of the ancient settlement just by Whoap Beck. | ||||
 |
||||
