Teddy’s Fir cone and piece of seaweed gave today the best day of the week, parked at Bull Pot Farm 

SD 66257 81480 

and set off down the valley towards Ease Gill Kirk, looking back at the Farm

the Bear wanted a detour to Lancaster Hole to see the Trolls

none in sight but it’s tackled up

this is the dry river bed of Ease Gill

but I stayed to the right and headed to the water outflow at Leck Beck Head

which was in full flow

then crossed over to the start of Ease Gill and began to follow it upstream

the Bear found a Henry Moore or is it a Barbara Hepworth ?

the Gill took on a lost world feel

then we arrived at the Kirk

with several caves all around

Set up the Samosa Cafe and brewed a drip Lavazza

it was good to find another way out from the Kirk, as it had been a scramble to get there, but looking downstream with your back to the Kirk, there’s a path up the left hand side
SD 66077 79972

which loops around and joins the path from Leck, then comes to a cross roads one crosses photo #5 to go back to Bull Pot Farm one goes in the direction of Leck Fell House and straight ahead follows the dry valley up, looking down the dry valley

 and looking up

with some spacy looking trees hanging on, this ones for Francesca

I was intending to follow the valley to the next Waterfall before cutting back across to Bull Pot but my knees were beginning to play up and spotted a handy set of stone steps cut into the hill side which lead back passed Lancaster Hole to join the path back to Bull Pot Farm, with a view back to Gragareth from the top of them

stopped on the road on the way back to photograph back down to Ease Gill

just thought I’d share cheers all Danny
