From Cow Bridge car park the sun highlights the flanks of Gray Crag

 

Looking into the Hartsop Valley

 

The bridge takes the path across Hayeswater Gill . . .

 

to climb the gradually ascending track . . .

 

to Hayeswater

 

Looking south-east over Hayeswater clouds descend over the flanks of High Street . . .

 

while to the north-west there are clear views to Brock Crags

 

Ascending into the mist as the sun shines on Hartsop

 

360° mist on the Knott . . .

 

and on Kidsty Pike

 

Rampsgill Head is around here somewhere!

 

Rest Dodd emerges from the low cloud as I head towards Satura Crag . . .

 

but The Knott still has its head in the clouds

 

Angle Tarn with the Helvellyn range just left of centre and Angletarn Pikes to the right

 

Climbing to the right of Angletarn Pikes a blanket of cloud can be seen covering High Street . . .

 

but in the opposite direction Ullswater peeps through the gap with Place Fell to the right

 

The summit of Angletarn Pikes - with more cloud covering the Wether Hill ridge

 

Looking over Angle Tarn to High Street and Gray Crag with its plume of cloud
