On the way over we stopped for a couple of photos at Waterhead in Ambleside

Tim was waiting impatiently in the boot while we put our boots on

The bridge over Great Langdale Beck next to the car park in Elterwater

The Britannia Inn was looking lovely in the early morning sun

Looking towards Silver How (where we were last week) as we headed out of the village

Once we cleared the trees in Sawrey's Wood the views were stunning

Looking east from the disused Banks Quarry

I think I was having a bit of a bad hair day!

Despite all of the stunning views we got, this is my favourite photo from the walk

Looking down onto Chapel Stile, with Megs Gill behind

Looking out over the quarry to a distant Red Screes

From here you get a sneak peak of the Langdale Pike, the huge crag of Pavey Ark is always easy to spot

As we gained height Fairfield became more visible the Silver How ridge

A closer view

Tim doing a 'dog slide' under the gate!

The view east from the Lingmoor Fell ridge

Now the Helvellyn range was visible, which looked to have a good coating of snow

Zooming in on Fairfield over Silver How

and onto yoke Ill Bell ridge in the far eastern fells

Peaking over the wall that runs along the ridge

Sheena and Tim enjoying the view from the seat on Lingmoor Fell

Eventually Pike O'Blisco and the Crinkle Crags came into view

and then Bow Fell appreared

Pavey Ark and Harrison Stickle

Silver How with Fairfield behind

Looking south this time towards Wetherlam, Great Carrs and Wet Side edge

Sheena having some fun in one of the patches of snow that we found

Fairfield from Brown How (the highest point on Lingmoor Fell)

Bow Fell and the Crinkles from Brown How

The view from our coffee stop on the summit .... just one word, stunning!

A close up on Loft Crag and Pike O'Stickle

A close up of the Crinkle Crags

The majestic Langdale Pikes

A similar shot from a bit further along the ridge, this time the little rocky knoll of Side Pike is visible

Lingmoor Tarn was still frozen solid

A cheeky grin from Tim dog

Pike O'Blisco and the Crinkle Crags

Who's that hiding in the heather?

The Crinkle Crags and Bow Fell

Side Pike and The Langdale Pikes

The same shot from lower down the ridge

Looking along the wall towards Side Pike, with the Crinkles behind

Looking back up at Side Pike

The view from the summit of the road between the Langdale valley and Little Langdale

The Band with Bow Fell behind

and the Langdale Pikes

The Old Dungeon Ghyll hotel nestles below the crags on Loft Crag

The view's were just as good once we had reached the valley floor

Looking back along the valley as we walked down the road towards Side House where we would join The Cumbria Way

Looking up at Harrison Stickle from Stickle Ghyll

Harrison Stickle with Pavey Ark just visible on the right, from Side House

One last look along the valley towards Bow Fell before we turned the corner heading back to Elterwater

The car parks at Stickle Ghyll were very busy today, not surprising with weather like this!

A close up on Harrison Stickle

Icicles in one of the many streams we passed

Were the sun hadn't got onto the paths they were still frozen solid

The Langdale Pikes

Harrison Stickle and Pavey Ark

One last look at the Pikes from Oak Howe

Ok, well just one more

Approaching Chapel Stile village

Great Langdale Beck, which we followed the short way back to Elterwater
