Starting the steep climb on Stone Arthur.
We managed to get a good parking spot on the A5091 An empty lay-by would you believe it! So it was just a case of finding the path through the cottages and up the steep tarmac road that runs along Greenhead Gill
Grasmere
Alcock Tarn
Stone Arthur.
And stone Arthur summit comes in to view ,It was a case of diverting slightly as we got a little further nearer to the summit, The path here was turning in to a stream in sections.
