A Quiet Lakeland Valley

 With a bit of research it is still possible to find a peaceful Lake District valley for some quiet walking. OK so Swindale in the far eastern region isn't surrounded by huge crags and dramatic scenery but that doesnt mean its not worth a visit.
 Today I was after a reference or two from this dale and I planned a route which took in one fell, Selside Pike. We were fortunate with the weather with patches of bright autumn sunshine lighting up the changing colours of the landscape.

Views from near Selside Pike to the west give a fine vista of the High Street range which today had a touch of low cloud. To the north and east the scene is of the North Pennines and the Howgills.

 We had a fine half days walk and I have already pencilled in a return visit.
