The photo below is taken from the Filter Station looking down to Hartsop. The green path on the right is the site of the old aquaduct..
Footbridge leading to the Hayeswater path
One of the waterfalls on the way up.
When we set off the sun was out, but for the rest of the day we had solid black cloud overhead which unfortunately makes for dull, dark photos.
On the way up Rest Dodd and looking back down the wall to The Knott.
Looking across to Angle Tarn and Angle Tarn Pikes behind. The Helvellyn range still has snow. It was cold and windy on the summit.
The Nab and its peat hags (bogs!). We had to do a lot of jumping and detours in order not to end up in one. The Nab is a Red Deer Conservation Area, and you are restricted to using the path on the right and returning the same way.

The Nab summit looking down Martindale. Hallin Fell, where I went with Tom on Monday, is at the end. Beda fell on the left. Steel Knotts in front of Hallin Fell on the right. The far right is Bonscale Pike, Loadpot Hill and Wether Hill. The skies were getting darker!
Looking back to Rest Dodd. We retraced our steps back to the wall in the photo, climbed over and then made our way along the wall up to Satura Crags on the right.

A couple of close up photos taken from behind the wall, cropped and zoomed-in on in editing....a little fuzzy...looks like two antlerless stags rutting on the right.
They have seen us!
After watching the deer we headed off towards Brock Crags seen in the distance below.
