Branstree, High Howes and
Selside Pike.
After parking at Mardale Head I followed the path up to
Gatescarth Pass before heading over Branstree to High Howes and Selside
Pike. I descended via the Old Corpse Road. It was a fine day for
walking in the hills with excellent weather and almost perfect visibility.
There was sunshine throughout the walk and no wind. Although the tops were
frozen it didn't feel cold and the snow gave added drama to the views.
There was a powerful feeling of calmness and peacefulness.
