I am miles
behind with my blogs so just a quick one of our progress.
This walk was
done with our friends Graham and Sandra.
Parking on
the A591 we followed Rhododendron lined lane leading up towards Alcock Tarn.
This eventually led to a gate giving access to the open fellside.
Here we took
the left hand path and made our way steeply up the slopes of Greenhead Gill. The steep nature meant the views soon opened out.

After a short
break the broad ridge was followed up to Great Rigg.

Our next top
was Heron Pike. This involved a short
backtrack so that we could branch off onto the ridge leading to Heron Pike.
The walking
here was pleasant and despite being very hazy the views weren’t too bad so we
took a quick break on the north top of Heron Pike.

On reaching Heron Pike we only stopped for a quick photo before making our way over Lord Crag and then down towards to Nab Scar

The achievement of bagging Nab Scar our 4th and final Wainwright of the day was ruined somewhat by an irresponsible dog owner who let their dog run off and chase the sheep.

From here
another short backtrack took us onto a path that led down to the pretty Alcock
Tarn.

While here we made a short detour to Grey Crag

We then headed across to meet with the Greenhead Gill path, Steep going took us down to our start point just as the rain started.
Four more
bagged leaving 52 to go.
