| Ullswater comes into view as I walk from the car park. I didn't park there, I used one of the free spaces a little way down the main road. |
 |
| After passing the top of Aira Force and having a quick look at the waterfall from above, I continued through the woods, onto the open fellside and began my ascent of Gowbarrow Fell. I'll look at the waterfalls properly towards the end of the walk. |
 |
| At the top of Gowbarrow Fell. Little Mell Fell is to the left of the trig column. In the distance it seems the sun is shining on Heughscar Hill. |
 |
| From the top I join the path that runs all the way around Gowbarrow Fell. Eventually, and after getting caught in a few showers, I'll end up not too far from Aira Force. |
 |
| Place Fell seen from the terrace path. |
 |
| Looking along Ullswater to Heughscar Hill, Arthur's Pike, Bonscale Pike, Loadpot Hill and Hallin Fell. |
 |
| From the southern side of Gowbarrow Fell I get this view towards the Glenridding / Patterdale end of Ullswater. Looks like more rain heading my way. |
 |
| And now to try and get a picture of Aira Force without crowds of people. |
