The Hause, the highest point of the minor road between Matterdale End and Watermillock |
 |
A gate beside a fenced and covered reservoir gives access to a small field |
 |
Crossing the field, a bit boggy in places, to another gate and onto the open fellside |
 |
Looking across to the Pennines |
 |
A fingerpost indicates the path to the summit |
 |
Looking back to The Hause from the start of the climb |
 |
A grooved path heads directly up the slope but it's easier to follow a graded path to the right which soon turns back and joins the grooved path at a higher level above its initial steep section |
 |
Looking to Great Dodd and Clough Head |
 |
The Far Eastern Fells |
 |
Fairfield and Helvellyn |
 |
The path eventually joins a shepherd's path which makes a rising traverse across the southern slopes of the fell |
 |
Looking back along the shepherd's path to Arthur's Pike above a mist shrouded Ullswater |
 |
Blencathra comes into view as a path breaks off right towards the upper slopes of the fell . . . |
 |
. . . and leads directly to the summit |
 |
Looking back to Ullswater from the upper slopes |
 |
The summit trig column soon comes into view |
 |
The summit of Little Mell Fell |
