Looking south from the shore at Armboth
.
and north where there are signs
that the cloud is beginning to thin.
The path from Armboth follows the fence-line
up to the tree-line above.
A burst of sun brightens proceedings.
Looking north across the wide expanse of
marshy ground towards Blencathra and Clough Head.
Armboth Fell.
Behind, the Helvellyn ridge is thickly blanketed
beneath a roll of cloud
.but all is clear to the west.

It was interesting to watch the Helvellyn
ridge slowly clearing as the bank of cloud moved slowly eastwards.

Armboth Fell has its critics but there is
no denying that the views from the summit are worth getting ones feet wet
for!!
