Photo of Hawes End. The jetty is just part of along streth of property along the lake shore which is owned by the National Trust. Trails lead along the shore to Manesty, to the south. |
Photo of Hawes End jetty, Derwent Water, at dawn. The location is wonderfully peaceful, despite its popularity with visitors. Hawes End is blissfully tucked away from the main flow of visitors. |
Just fun, a photo of reflections df Derwent Water and the jetty at Hawes End |
The walk to Haystacks is a perennial Lake District favourite. The ascent is not difficult, and the reward for your efforts are views like this one, down towards Crummock Water and Buttermere. |
Author Alfred Wainwright named the small tarn below the summit of Haystacks, Innominate Tarn, which is a cheeky turn of phrase, for the name literally means 'nameless tarn'. Here, sunlight reflects off water-loving plants in the shallow waters of the tarn. |
Helvellyn is one of the most popular climbs in the Lake District. There are several ways to the summit; this photo was taken on the ascent from Glenridding. |
You never know what you might see - or not see - when you go climbing in the Lake District. But even on cloudy days, the curtain of mist is sometimes pulled back to reveal wonderful sights like this; the morning sun picking out the ridge of Sunday Crag. |
The interestingly named 'Hole-in-the-Wall', where several paths meet before the final ascent of Helvellyn. |
This was going to be a brilliant photo of the arrete known as Striding Edge, which leads to the summit of Helvellyn. But, this being the Lake District, mist closed in and enveloped Striding Edge in a thick cloud akin to pea soup. |
Most visitors to Ullswater stop in at Aira Force, and rightfully so. But a very short journey up the hillside leads to High Force, which is generally quiter and less crowded, though not as spectacular. |
Slender plants grow upon the (slippery) rocks below High Force falls. |
