Descending Burnbank Fell - Lowes Water & Crummock Water can be seen with Whiteside & Grasmoor the leading lights in the backgound. Our starting point - Mellbreak can be seen on the far right, one of my favourite ascents.

Is that a bit of grey I can see ? Nah - Must be the light ! A wonderful viewing point from the popular seat above Holme Wood looking down onto Lowes Water
