Heading out of Rosthwaite village along the quiet lanes

The weather was definately looking better than the previous couple of days

We followed the same path as walk the day before for the first part of the walk, before heading down to the cottages at Mountain View where we headed towards Seathwaite Farm

Heading along the lane towards the farm

The views south along the Borrowdale valley were wonderful

Base Brown with Sourmilk Gill to the right

We eventually arrived at Seathwaite Farm, which nestles at the bottom of Sourmilk Gill

At the farm we joined the throngs of people heading towards Sca Fell Pike (?)

Seathwaite Fell, one of our objectives for the day, Sprinkling Tarn is up there

The day was turning out really nice, it was going to be a warm climb along the gill

At Stockley Bridge we headed off to the left along Grains Gill, we would come back along the right hand side path later in the day

The view as you climb the gill is dominated by the huge cliff face of Great End

Looking back down the gill, with Skiddaw in the far distance

The path becomes much steeper at the head of the gill

The path has been repaired in several sections which make the going a little easier

The stunning view north towards Derwent Water, Skiddaw and Blencathra

The imposing north face of Great End

At the top of the gill Great Gable comes into view

Glaramara from the top of the gill, with the slopes of Allen Crag on the right

Sprinkling Tarn and Great Gable

Great Gable from the tarn, with Windy Gap and Green Gable on the right

The view from our lunch stop beside the tarn

While we were having lunch a few braves soles to a dip in the tarn, they didn't stay in very long!

After lunch we headed down from Sprinkling Tarn towards Sty Head

The cloud base was low enough to catch the tops of the high fells every now and then

Eventually Sty Head Tarn comes into view

Lingmell and the huge gash of Piers Gill

Lingmell with Sca Fell Pike to the left

The 'Corridor Route' curs diagonally across the fell side on the left to Lingmell Col

A sneak view down into Wasdale

Lingmell and Sca Fell Pike

The white building down in the valley is the Wasdale Head Inn, we stayed there before and the food and drink are great, but today our route is in the opposite direction back to Rosthwaite

A close up on Lingmell, there is a path along the left side of Piers Gill

Sty Head Tarn with Blencathra in the distance

It had turned out to be a lovely afternoon, plenty of blue sky and warm sun

Come on dad, it's time for a swim!

Looking back at Sca Fell Pike from the tarn

Heading back down towards Stockley Bridge

The views down into Borrowdale very lovely

Taylorgill Force (Lakeland's second highest waterfall) is down on the left behind the tree's

Almost back down to the bridge, and time for tea and cakes at Seathwaite Farm

It gets really busy at Seathwaite at times, these cars are probably about a mile from the farm!

The cottages at Mountain View, which we passed earlier in the day

Looking over the fields to Grange Fell

Eagle Crag, means we are almost back to Rosthwaite
