Looking across Coledale towards Sail from the slopes of Grisedale Pike.

I took this picture on my birthday a couple of weeks ago, not long before reaching the summit of Grisedale Pike. It was the first time I'd climbed this mountain, but it definitely won't be the last. It was a lovely day and a great walk, getting right into the middle of the fells in a relatively short time. In the far distance, you can just see a few hazy peaks, one of which is Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. In the foreground at the bottom right, you can just see the top of Force Crag. A couple of spectacular waterfalls fall down the Crag into Coledale Beck and pass the disused Force Crag Lead Mine. The path you can see on the opposite slope was our route down the mountain towards the beck.
