Great TR from one of my favourite corners of the Lake District. High Street via Long Stile is a classic route with great views.


Your photos are amazing - such detail. What are you taking them with? My favourites are the view back down Long Stile on the way to High Street and the one of the ruins and Haweswater as you start the descent from the old Corpse Road.


Only one further thing to ask - where did you have your post match refreshment?!

Thanks Sarah. Most of those photos were taken with a Canon 1100, a pretty entry level DSLR by most standards but good enough for me. I also carry a small compact which has a greater zoom range.

 Sadly, no refreshments, it was back in the car for the drive back to Leeds :)

Great photos. My favourite was Haweswater reservoir but they're all good O0
