Heading out of Ambleside beneath the autumn trees. Note the small deer on the road ahead, it strolled up the road for a while before disappearing off into the woods.
Disappearing into the woods myself alongside Stock Ghyll.

Stockghyll Force. Again.
Looking back to Ambleside from the climb upto Wansfell Pike.
A closer shot of Ambleside with Loughrigg Fell behind.
Approaching the top of Wansfell Pike.
Windermere from Wansfell Pike.
The view to the summit of the Kirkstone Pass between the summits of Red Screes (left) and Caudale Moor.
Hard to make out on this small sized photo, but the white spot at the summit is the Kirkstone Inn where I'd be for a pint in about an hours time.
The Fairfield Horseshoe seen from Wansfell Pike.
The way ahead across Wansfell, with Ill Bell and Froswick behind.
And looking back to Wansfell Pike.
After my pint at the Kirkstone Inn I made my way back to Ambleside down the road known as 'The Struggle'. This is looking back upto the Kirkstone Inn, the steep climb to the top gives the road its name.
Wansfell.
Another view of Wansfell in the afternoon sun as the moon rises (again, hard to see on these small photos but it's there to the left).
Almost back in Ambleside.
