| Comments: | The path from Little Town to Hause Gate was an easy one to get up on to the ridge. Low cloud hung over the whole area and we quickly ascended into mist. We did get some views from Hindscarth Edge and on the way to Robinson but these were tantalising glimpses of what we should have been seeing. There were some tricky parts as we descended over High Nab Bank but at least by then we had some good views. | ||

Crossing the beck near Dale Head Tarn . . .
which looks quite atmospheric in the mist
A steep climb brings us to Dale Head . . .
and we clear the mist as we descend to Hindscarth Edge . . .
where we can just see the edges of Blencathra
Clear views as we descend over High Snab Bank . . .

Not far to go now . . .
and Ian spots a Rowan tree full of berries
Looking back Robinson is still in mist on the right
Is this a church or school?
I think it might be used as both
