21.5.2009 Place Fell, Angle Tarn and Pikes, Brock Crag, Hayeswater, Grey Crag, Hartsop Dodd and Caudale Moor
After 10 hours sleep and a good breakfast I started at 8:30 for a reascent of Boredale Hause. After a rainy night the weather was improving to get even much drier today. Houses in Patterdale.
Quiet oldrill beck from the bridge to Rooking
Patterdale with The White Lion Inn far right.
The bridge
Lovely rhododendron in a garden.
Looking to Arnison Crag from the beginning of the ascent.
Patterdale and Glenridding
At first, I ignored that shower over Helvellyn. However, the wind had turned during the night, so ...
... it approached from a northwestern direction.
No rain to the soth - Brothers Water and Red screes from the ascent to Place Fell - Boredale hause far left, with the path to Angle Tarn.

Peaty Puddle on the saddle between Brock Crag and Satura Crag.
From the same point, looking in the opposite direction: The Knott, High Street and Grey Crag, with Hayeswater. From here, I first walked up Satura Crag, then took a direct off path route through the upper parts of Prison Gill, to directly head for Hayeswater outflow (thanks to a gate in a big stone wall in between!).

... and once more from Brock Crag eastern smmit.

I walk down to Hartsop Dodd (without my rucksack, of course)
Hartsop Dodd Cairn with Caudale Moor. Quite a lot of an ascent. I took a tent pitch on Caudale Moor after the ascent, because I was not sure about a free room at Kirkstone Pass Inn.
