Route Map

It was really too good to miss a walk this lunchtime up to Beacon Fell to catch some glorious Autumn sunshine and wonderful golden views. The box at the top has disappeared again so perhaps Connie and I will get up there again next week to replace it if we get the opportunity.

That looks like a 'yippee!' from Casper as we set off to Beacon fell.

Had enough already Casper? Autumn on Beacon Fell.

A close up on Black Sails and Wetherlam. They look quite imposing in this view when compared to the houses in the foreground.

The Walna Scar ridge - White Pike, White Maiden, Walna Scar, Brown Pike, Buck Pike and Dow Crag all clearly in view today.

Caw and Pikes, Stickle Pike to the extreme left.
