| Looking down to the seat with Low Rigg behind, and Skiddaw and Lonscale Fell behind that. | |||

| Castlerigg Fell and Dodd Crag. | |||

| Dodd behind Latrigg, the sun was starting to get fairly low by this point, should get some good photos in about an hour. | |||

| The steep north face of Clough Head. | |||

| And the summit of High Rigg, looking south to Thirlmere. | |||
 |
|||
| And looking to Threlkeld Knotts and Clough Head. | |||
