Leaving Glenridding you get a lovely view over to Ullswater

It is a really nice walk up Grisedale up a good path. The idea it to the get to the gap and then turn right and up the back of Dollywagon Pike.

View back down the grazing fields of Grisedale.

For some reason I didn't actually take a photo of Grisedale Tarn. Its a really good crossroads for anyone planning to walk from Glenridding to Ambleside. This was the view from Dollywagon Pike across to Great Rigg and down the ridge towards Rydal (this was the route I took on Monday).

View West from Dollywagon Pike

The path is easy going and takes me past Nethermost Pike and the Striding Edge appears.

View up to Helvellyn (when I got there the shelter was full so I just took the photos and moved on).

The view back down over the Helvellyn Trig point to Catstye Cam and Ullswater

Once past Helvellyn you move onto the Lower Man.

From Helvellyn Lower Man you get a great view of Swirral Edge

View of Catstye Cam from White Side

I then moved onto Raise and then Stybarrow Dodd before descending to Sheffield Pike via White Stones.

I was then intending to head back to the car but when I realised that the walk up Glenridding Dodd was just a short extension I decided to go for it. It was worth it for the view down to Glenridding and Patterdale.
