Helm Crag via Steel Fell // The Lake District

Helm Crag, near the village and lake of Grasmere, has long been a favourite of mine. The hill and the ridge that runs in a northerly direction away from it can yield some of the most spectacular views in the Lake District. Photographically it is a real gem, however on this day there was nothing but strong sunshine and no cloud; making the landscape look a little flat. But a perfect day in the fells was had and it won't be long before I'm back there again.
