The summit cairn of Broom Fell with good views over towards Grizedale Pike.
Another summit this time Lords Seat with Barf (another of the summits i needed to complete) in the distance. Unfortunately I had to walk over to Barf and then return to Lords Seat, there were no other summits past Barf to turn this bit into a circular.
Looking south from lords Seat this time to Grizedale Pike again. Once I had bagged Barf I would return and continue along the path you see in the middle left of the photograph to Whinlatter.
Approaching Barf looking east to Derwent Water, the angle of the sun and mist adding to this atmospheric shot.
Bassenthwaite Lake from Barf. Bassentwaite Lake is the only 'Lake' in the Lake District the others are either Waters or Meres.

I decided to make a short detour on my walk to include Spout Force. Well worth the effort following all the rain during the week.
I caught this shot further downstream as the sun lit up the bank and the fast flowing water.
Thanks for visiting....
