Left turn here !

Busy as usual on the road to Seathwaite Farm - but almost always plenty of spots to choose from

Base Brown on the right

Heading away from the farm towards Stockley Bridge

The excellent meandering path alongside Grains Ghyll

Great End always in sight up ahead

Gloomy Esk Hause

Lingmell from the Corridor Route

The wonderful Corridor Route as it traverses and slowly winds down the side of Broad Crag - a real joy looking down into Wasdale. If your lucky you could see an RAF fighter jet or two (below you !) - too quick for my camera skills though !
