We were staying more or less at the foot of Miterdale on the Friday so it seemed a good idea to have a walk through there and up to the screes before dropping down to Burnmoor Tarn and back through Miterdale.

Interesting and new walking for me with a beautiful start. Maybe not the best way to do the actual hills but nice to see an unfamiliar lakeland valley.

Misty on tops and windy but dry and bright also at times.

Miterdale Forest

Climbing up through the woods

Still on the ascent

Higher up and looking over the forest

On the ridge now and looking back at Irton Pike

Whin Rigg ahead

Seatallan

Whin Rigg summit

Mist is now down over Illgill Head

Looking back to Whin Rigg

Getting blown over on the top

Descending with Wasdale Head (and unique mountains) ahead

Burnmoor Tarn

Back up to Burnmoor Tarn with Scafell behind in mist

The path keeps to the high ground on the right of the valley
