a night on Haystacks


looking down on Honister Pass and quarry


Dubs quarry


our tent beside Blackbeck Tarn with Green Gable and Great Gable in the distance


Buttermere and Crummock Water from the path up Haystacks


Green Gable and Great Gable from Innominate Tarn


panorama from the next tarn - Brandreth - Green Gable - Great Gable - Scafell Pike (behind) - Kirk Fell


Ennerdale Water and the Irish Sea from Haystacks summit

Crummock Water from Haystacks N top - Low Fell behind with the Solway and Scotland beyond


Haystacks summits from the little tarn east of Innominate Tarn


evening light over Buttermere and Crummock Water


sunset light on Brandreth with Great Gable in the clouds


zooming in on Great Gable a few minutes later


the sun setting between Haystacks and High Crag


red sky at night is the shepherd's delight ..


.. but didn't produce a brilliant morning - brew up in the mist at the top of Fleetwith Pike


a brief glimpse of Buttermere from the ridge


.. and then of Borrowdale


the valley west of Honister Pass from above as the day improves


old mining works on the slopes of Dale Head and a party embarking on a conducted mine visit
