Helvellyn, turn right!
grazers, they are everywhere!
The cloud covered mountain peaks
The mountain top grassy plains
The grass is always greener on the other side!
Never a bridge too far!
Passing through the highland woods
Neat stone path!
Oh look and ancient! :3
Views getting better which each climb
The woods transitions to a gravel path from here
The path soon degrades into a grassy climb
Overlooking the trees previously obstructing the view
scenery galore means photo galore!
oh gosh look at the climb...
We were literally climbing into the skies!
Oh there are trees up here too.
The stairway to heaven!
We are as high as the adjacent mountains
Oh so that's where we came from!
The Ullswater lake where we had our steamer ride
Strange, it stopped raining...
only after we climbed up to a certain height. :P
But the rain didn't drench our spirits!
oh yea!, it's like we've climbed above the clouds!
lake on the right
valley on the left
who could hear our echos across the valley
The lake looks very different from up here
That's all the time we have on the peak
Time to roll down!
Heading back where we came from is a good start! :P
Strange it started raining once we went downhill
Shops around the town of Glenridding
It's a small little condusive town, with an excellent visitor's center
There are only 3 bus services from glenridding daily, this was the last one back!
The Meadowdore Cafe, in the little town of Coniston
Here we are at Coniston!
Old furness road serves the highland mountains here
This slope is about 40 degrees tops, and stretches forever!
Oh look more lifestock!
More grazers of the bahh! kind
The "old man" in the distance
The coniston waterfall. with a water trickle like an old man. :P
Mini cave hole included!
With a slope so steep, we could technically roll downhill on our return trip
Back in the beautiful town of Coniston!
nice stream running through the residentials
Bye Coniston!
nice boat dock on our way back to Windermere
