Nine Standards Rigg

A family walk today from Kirkby Stephen to Nine Standards Rigg and back. A very pleasant and easy climb which I have done three times after today – the other two times were last year and on the Coast to Coast walk. The day was mostly fine although we were hit by some showers moving up the Eden Valley later on.

The Howgill Fells from the ascent of Nine Standards Rigg.

Looking down to the wide plain of the Eden Valley and some of the northern Pennine chain.

The Nine Standards that give the fell its name.

And another view.
