Lake District August 2015 (Skiddaw via Keswick route)

Rowan's first 900m mountain, the forth highest in the Lake District and England, a hard day's walking for him!

Having lunch on the south summit

Walking to the main summit. Ullock Pike is behind.

Lake District August 2015 (Newlands Valley): Causey Pike->Scar Crags->Outerside->Barrow

Starting from Uzzicar, a steep climb on to Rowling End then following the ridge to Causey Pike and along Scar Crags. Dropped down from the ridge before embarking on Sail towards High Moss.

Climbed up on the Outerside, on to Style End then Barrow, decending on the NE path towards Braithwaite, and then followed the level path and road back to Uzzicar.

Walkers: Just me

Looking up to the scrambling just below the top of Causey Pike.

Stopping for lunch on Rowling End with some great view points.

The easy path looking back to Rowling End, from the foot of the summit of Causey Pike.

The little tree close to the summit of Rowing End can be seen from much of Newlands Valley
