| The Kirkstone Pass Inn beckons. It's perked up a little since we were last here. | |
| We're on our way up from Grasmere to Easedale Tarn, apparently. | |
| As usual in the Lakes, there's a bit of water about. | |
| We've stopped on Tarn Crag... | |
| ...looking west across Ferngill Crag... | |
| ...towards Sergeant Man and High Raise. We're just getting above the mist. | |
| Everyone down below, in Grasmere, probably thinks it's not a very nice day. | |
| Everyone down below in Great Langdale, as well, probably thinks it's not a very nice day! | |
| Codale Tarn. | |
| Not sure of where I am here. I think that's Harrison Stickle looming up in the distance. | |
| Just about reaching Thorn Crag & Sergeant Man | |
| Sat on Sergeant Man, looking over the shoulder of Pavey Ark. You can just about make out Stickle Tarn. | |
| Now this is something. We have headed across to Blea Cragg, to make our way down to Easedale Tarn again. As the sun is behind, shining through onto the mist, we have a rarely-observed Brocken Spectre (first observed on Brocken, in Germany). | |
| This one appears quite distant. They can appear to the side, a ghostly companion pacing you down the hill, or can appear closer, especially if caused by car headlights immediately behind. | |
| The surface of Easedale Tarn is frozen. There's only one thing to do. Get some rocks and smash holes in it! | |
| Sound advice for the locals. | |
| The road from Kirkstone Pass to Ambleside. | |
| Ambleside. | |
