Rosthwaite Fell

Rosthwaite Fell

 

Glaciated Borrowdale has many crags and crinkles.

Hike up steep glaciated sides for a cardiovascular work out.

has been smoothed and weathered by ice, wind and rain.

Almost flat, with some ragged hard core lumps and bumps

to try to capture some of the lovely landscape colour.

Softer greys and blues etching everything from Langdale to Gable clearly across the horizon.

Until I finally swung homeward and snatched the green valley reaching northwards to Derwent
