Pusgill House, just above Dufton

The view across to the forest of bowland fells

Looking up at Little Rundale Beck

Nice view towards the Forest of Bowland

Icey Grass, just to prove it was bitterly cold

Looking down Great Rundale Beck towards Knock Pike

The first views up to Threlkeld Side

From here we can see the scars of mine workings

Craggy Bluethwaite Hill

Looking back at Dufton Pike

The main horse level at the Dufton Mines

Quick peek into the level

A fine view from  this height, and wow was it cold

Vein material from the mines, here we see Barite, Sphalerite and a little Galena

Near to the high point of 692 above Threlkeld side, looking down to Dufton Pike

The view from the top of Bluethwaite Hill

Top of Bluethwaite Hill crags looking across the steep flanks of Bownber Hill

Back in Pusgill now and the view across to Murton Pike

Back at Dufton now to well deserved warmish coffee.
