After a stupid mistake on the ascent - forcing me to return back after taking the wrong path ! I finally made it to the top of Birkhouse Moor. Now heading towards the well known 'Hole in the Wall' - most of the time walkers pass this feature on the way to Striding Edge and Helvellyn, today my target was the symmetrical pyramid on the right, which is Catstye Cam.

At Red Tarn admiring Helvellyn

Looking back down onto Red Tarn from the summit of Catstye Cam

A lovely view from the summit over to Ullswater
