Leaving Brotherilkeld I set off towards Upper Eskdale

This was my first venture into this part of the lakes and it was to be a very isolated - but wonderful walk through what must be one of the best valleys in the Lakes.

The meandering path alongside the River Esk - distinctive Bowfell in the distance

Following the river - this is a truly magical walk

Heading towards Esk Hause

After this the rain arrived and my camera stayed tucked away !
