Dovedale, High Seat and High Tove, Ravenglass and Muncaster Fell, Roa Island

Further photos from my backlog, from a number of walks across Cumbria. The weather for most of these walks was very good, in particular the walk up to High Seat, High Tove and Armboth Fell from Armboth saw clear views.

A view down to Brotherswater, Angletarn Pikes and the ridge of High Hartsop Dodd in the foreground, from Little Hart Crag. This walk was a round of Dovedale, taking in Hartsop-above-How and Dove Crag as well as Little Hart Crag and High Hartsop Dodd.

And a view of Brotherswater from High Hartsop Dodd. The village of Hartsop lies beneath Angletarn Pikes.

The excellent view northwards from High Seat. Although the central ridge is very boggy we were able to avoid the worst bits as the recent weather had been dry. This walk climbed up to High Tove from Armboth, and then an out-and-back walk to High Seat. Then we visited Armboth Fell and followed a pathless, not recommended route above the Thirlmere plantations to a forest road descending from Harrop Tarn, before following the lakeside path back to Armboth.

The view from High Seat towards the head of Borrowdale, the Scafell range and Great Gable.

Raven Crag and Blencathra.

The excellent view to Raven Crag, Blencathra and Thirlmere from the pathless route above the plantations.

On the Thirlmere lakeshore path now, looking up to Raven Crag. Great Calva is the peaked fell in the far distance.

Blencathra from the Thirlmere lakeside path.

The third walk now, starting at Ravenglass and walking up to Muncaster Fell with a return through Muncaster Castle. This is a very pleasant and enjoyable walk. In Ravenglass there is an old petrol pump.

Zooming in on the Hardknott Pass from Muncaster Fell. The day started cloudy but got much brighter.

The view from Ravenglass to the railway bridge, Dent is the fell in the background.

The day had really got out nicely on the drive back home. This is a view of the Duddon Valley from the Corney Fell road.

The Scafells, Esk Pike and Green Crag from the same place.
