Belles Knott in the Clouds, we decided to turn round as the route we intended to follow to Silver How would have been difficult to find (Belles Knott, Blea Rigg, Great Castle How, Little Castle How, Lang How)

Unusual rocks at Slapestone Edge on the North side of Easedale Tarn

I am amazed I havn't seen a picture of these bizzare rocks before, one with a heather cap, the other with a tree growing in a crack in the middle (at Far Easedale)

A trip to Sarah Nelsons to stock up on Grasmere Gingerbread
