Start of the walk
by the shore of Ullswater in Glenridding
Looking back down to Glenridding and Ullswater
Lanty's Tarn
Grisedale with St Sunday Crag on the left
Grisedale Beck. I'd gone a bit wrong here - I should have been heading up the side of the hillside on the other side of this photo!
Back on the right route. Heading up to Grisedale Brow looking to Nethermost Cove with clouding rolling over the mountain tops
A first view of Helvellyn (centre) with Swirral Edge and Catstye Cam on the right - I was to walk over those on my way back.
Approaching Striding Edge, Helvellyn had now disappeared in the cloud.
On Striding Edge
Another view on the Edge approaching Helvellyn during a short lived thinning of the cloud
On Helvellyn, wonderful views...
I then headed the short distance to the summit of Nethermost Pike. Well I assume I had, hard to tell in these conditions!
