Cooler walk than yesterday when we were on Barrow (here), unfortunately the warm sunshine is replaced by cloudy, hazier conditions. The views to Derwent Water however are just as good from this glorious viewpoint and the layering of fells to the south is superb. This has to be the best view in the Lake District with minimal effort and its a fell top Wainwright as well.

Off up the graded path to the summit
Views to the North Western Fells with a peek of Derwent Water
Derwent Water and too many fells to count as we near the summit.
Darkening Skiddaw rising behind
Another look at that cracking view
Me and the boys on Latrigg, the better viewpoint is behind us but this is the summit point
Hazy Helvellyn beyond the dark looking Central Fells as we head back down, a quick walk but no doubt I will return to this one again and again.
