Arthurs Pike summit

First glimpse of a view of Ullswater and Hallin Fell below - It was extremely windy here, hence the rather blurred photo !

Looking back towards the summit of Loadpot Hill

Time to leave the main path and head downwards - looking back

The faint path down into fusedale

Some views - but not great today

Steel Knotts up ahead

There's our lunch spot ! bit of shelter and a nice bench in beautiful Fusedale

Almost at Howtown looking back up the valley

Can't go wrong here

Ullswater always looks stunning whatever the weather

The bridleway between Howtown and Roehead

Almost back at the car for an early finish today
