28/07/2018 - Gowbarrow Fell with Alison, Joe, Ana and Jack.

 

The lower bridge over the Aira Force

 

The higher bridge mostly hidden by foliage

 

Looking down from the higher bridge

 

Signs like this would be very helpful on many other fells

 

Following the path

 

Towards Ullswater

 

Towards Blencathra and Bannerdale Crags

 

Further up the path

 

The summit trig point and the sky clouding over

 

Jack near the summit

 

At Gowbarrow Fell summit and the wind is worsening

 

The summit again

 

Jack holds on to his wig

 

Then comes the howling wind and rain

 

Escaping through the heather

 

Close up on Blencathra as we descend

 

Thankfully the rain didn't persist

 

And quite a bit of blue sky

 

There's a path in there somewhere

 

out of the bracken at last
