Which hill is this?

Some photos just came in from kira and one of them looked so good I thought you might like to guess the fell. What an atmospheric shot, so where is it? If you don't know all will be revealed next time.

Walking on Wednesday 28/10

Pete plans to lead a Classic "A" walk on Wednesday 28/10 starting from the Moot Hall in Keswick at 0900hr, price will be £12.50 each.
Transport will be arranged from there to Mosedale (back o'Skiddaw) and the route will be a traverse of the Northern Fells, starting with Carrock Fell, then Great Lingy; over to Knott and on to Great Calva, then down to Skiddaw House and back to Keswick by the Glenderaterra valley.
The walk is not part of the published programme which finished on Friday with a very successful but wet walk over Dale Head; Hindscarth and Robinson.
If you'd like to come on Pete's Wednesday walk please let me know by email, telephone or even knock on the door.

Bella is keen, and will be sporting her new coat unlike the piccie below which shows her before she was stripped out!  She is much smarter now and she knows it.....

Sunny day in September

September 10 dawned warm and sunny and stayed that way for Cath's Scafell Pike walk. Here the lads are ascending The Band, just below the top of Great End and high above Styhead Tarn below in the distance.

Summit of Scafell Pike, top of England, 3210ft. The group seem pleased to have the place to themselves though I doubt it; perhaps Cath just chose her moment to take the picture well.



On the return along the Corridor Route there's an awkward rocky step to negotiate. It's quite alarming to see it looming ahead on a wild and windy day with the mist down. Today however the mood is benign, merely an upward turn of the rocky footpath leading to Styhead Tarn.
