A sunday stroll..

The day started dull and cloudy we parked high on the Kirkstone pass, anyone who has travelled over the Kirkstone pass will have noticed the scree slopes that make up the popular fell of Red Screes. 

The cloud finally did start to lift and gave us a glimpse of the Kentmere horseshoe. The route to the top of Red Screes is definitely a 'legwarmer' despite its relatively short route, starting at nearly 450m half the ascent is already done.

Red Screes summit offers fine views..

Of course it would be rude not to visit Middle Dodd and tick of another Wainwright, a short and easy out-and-back walk along Smallthwaite band with even better views across brothers water into Patterdale.

Having got up and down two fells before lunch time we wondered how we would spend the afternoon we toyed with the idea of driving to another fell, but before long we found ourselves in a beer garden in Ambleside, I couldn't think of any better way to spend the afternoon.
