We left the car near Milnthorpe Bridge and crossed it to take a path on the left hand side of the River Bela

Looking back to the bridge

The weir

The day was dull and dreary but there was some hope as the sun tried to penetrate through the low cloud.

Looking back and up to Haverbrack as we follow the River Bela.

Frosted and frozen banks as we look towards Whitbarrow

At the point where the Bela joins the River Kent

Whitbarrow

On the way to Sandside where we will take a path up through the woods towards Haverbrack

Hopefully a sign of better days to come

We would walk up through the woods to emerge on a minor road with a path up to Haverbrack at the other side.

A look back from the minor road.

And the continuing path upwards. That sun just can't get through!

Almost at the top but the views are just as dull

A minor trespass shows that although South Lakeland may be under cloud to the east the Howgills are not.

Milnthorpe & the Howgills

Entering the game wildlife area on Haverbrack

We left the wildlife area at Wray Cottage from where we walked down towards Beetham

Limestone Kiln at Low Edge

A look back at Haverbrack

The entrance to Dallam Park which we would walk through, but first....

A quick visit to the Heron Corn Mill at Beetham

This could interest Joan Billard from Ontario, Canada who is visiting Beetham later this year

It was only possible to visit part of the complex as work was going on,

This is the main worm gear, you can just see the waterwheel throgh the hole in the wall.

All that I could see of the waterwheel as areas were fenced off

After our brief visit we walked up into Dallam Park.

A close up of Farleton Fell

We walked through the park towards the trees on the right. This is where the deer were when we passed in the car earlier

Looking down the park top Dallam Towers.

A still dull Lakeland

Howgills 'n Houses....I was quite pleased at how this came out

And we even eventually managed to find the deer although I had to take this from a couple of hundred yards away.

We walked down to the Bela

Dallam Tower

Milnthorpe Bridge...the car is parked just to the right.
