Car Park below the right-hand end of the Coniston Water

Climb gets steeper towards the copper mines

Coniston town left of centre

Summit cairn ...

... views back to Coniston ...

... to the South ...

... and the North East

A welcome glass of Bluebird Bitter

I was looking for references to the original memorial to Donald Campbell, but could only find this, erected when his body was found in 2001

Very attractive lakeside setting

Saturday morning and the start for Pillar outside Burnthwaite Farm

South towards Wast Water from the farm, the bulk of Yewbarrow on the right

Our destination on the left

Wind Gap just right of centre

The Dore Head Screes 'path'!

One of many good views back down to Wasdale Head

Summit

Top of Wind Gap scree ...

... picking our way down ...

... and all smiles at the bottom

Packhorse Bridge by the Wasdale Head Inn

Wind Gap scree in the centre ...

... and two (fool)hardy souls contemplate Dore Head Screes.

Best bit of the day

Sunday morning departure, and looking up the length of Wast Water from the Southern end.
