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 |
