The route map of our walk

It was another lovely spring morning as we left the car park and headed out of the village

Helm Crag seen as we walked across the fields towards Easedale Tarn

Once we got past the farm the path headed out onto the open fell side and the climbing starts

Sourmilk Gill was just a trickle running over the rocks today

One of the deep pools in the falls, the green colour comes from the rocks?

Looking across Helm Crag towards Fairfield and Seat Sandal, the haze hung around all day and seemed to get a bit worse as the day warmed up

Easedale Tarn with the summit of Tarn Crag towering above it

Looking back at Easedale Tarn as I started the climb up onto Blea Rigg

Looking across the valley towards Coledale Head as I continued the climb

Looking down on the tarn again, with the Helvellyn range now visible behind, from Blea Rigg

Heading over Blea Rigg towards Stickle Tarn, with Pavey Ark and Harrison Stickle towering behind

A close up of Pavey Ark, the path to Jakes Rake is the one rising up from the tarn and then heading left across the crag

A view of Harrison Stickle from the same spot

Look at me I'm swimming! Oh I forgot I wasn't meant to cause any ripples was I?

Ok I'll stand over here, but I'm really cute, take photo's of me rather than the tarn!!!!!!

Once the water had settled after Tim's swimming I managed to get this shot of the tarn, well worth the wait I think

Looking down on Easedale Tarn from the summit of Blea Rigg

The Helvellyn range from one of the many un-named tarns on Blea Rigg

The view from my lunch stop near to Swinescar Pike, this is one of the best in the Lakes, in my humble opinion

The Langdale Fells from the very weedy tarn on Lang How

Heading towards Silver How from Lang How

Looking down on Grasmere from the summit of Silver How

Looking across to Loughrigg Fell over the very green looking Wyke Plantation

Heading down into Grasmere after another lovely spring walk
