Shortly after leaving the car near the radio mast this view of Kentmer came into view.

The way ahead to the top of Cunswick Fell. Although the same ridge, the Cunswick side of the Underbarrow Road is more grassy than the Scout Scar side.

The clouds which were moving fairly quickly were constantly altering the views.

Getting there!

A view of the distant Howgills which were in and out of cloud as we walked towards the summit

Looking towards the Kentmere Fells from Cunswick Fell. The Reston Scar , in shadow is on the left with Staveley below it.

A quick close up of the Langdales which were also in and out of view.

The Whinfell ridge from Scout Scar

Our return was along the scar edge

Not sure what this was about but whoever did it must have a good head for heights. There is a drop of a couple of hundred feet on the other side of the tree.

Sun on the Langdales.

Looking across to Cunswick Fell

And finally -  back to the car
