| I had no plans for todays walk other than to head into Great Langdale and as the weather was poor I stayed low and just wandered around to see some of the features in the area. | |||

| On the way into Great Langdale I had to stop at Skelwith Force as we had some pretty heavy rain the night before. The water level was very high but I've seen the waterfall worse in photographs. | |||
 |
|||
| The rocks and bridge alongside the waterfall. | |||
 |
|||
| Lots of water and bold autumn colours. Time to head to Elterwater. | |||
 |
|||
| The Weir at Chapel Stile. | |||
 |
|||
| Showing how high the water level was... I wonder how high it was in November 2008? | |||
 |
|||
| Very low cloud around Lingmoor Fell. | |||
 |
|||
| Wonderful misty cloud formation around the Langdale Pikes. | |||
 |
|||
 |
|||
| The Langdale Boulders. | |||
 |
|||
| The Prehistoric Rock Art - dates from around 5000 - 3000 BC. After finishing the walk I decided to head to Colwith Force as I have never seen the waterfall before. | |||
