Looking back to Arthur's Pike. From Bonscale we made our way sometimes on a path, sometimes not to eventually join up with the High Street (Roman Road) just below Loadpot Hill. As we would be visiting Loadpot on our way back we skirted around it towards Wether Hill.

Looking back both our way to the High Street track

St.Sunday Crag and Fairfield from our way to Wether Hill.

This shows the route intially with Bonscale Pike and Arthur's Pike seperated by Swarth Beck.

From lower down the track. We are going to the gap between the trees.

The last one.....The car is between the trees next to the white smudge which was transit van. Once again I apologise for the quality.
