Yoke, Frostwick & Ill Bell

A fantastic day out with a good mate today - helping him get back his hill fitness - his love of the mountains has never gone away. After a false start & quick dash to retrieve the boots he'd left in his car (on our drive) we were soon heading up onto High Street and a wilder side of the Lakes.
We were close enough to the scene of a recent Blip to get a distant sighting of the Golden Eagle - still dancing in the sky to try & attract a mate, such a honour to see.
We had a close encounter with two red deer stags that were very nearly the blip for today - but heading to Nant Bield Pass we stopped for coffee and the view West to the triple summits of Yoke, Frostwick & Ill Bell* - with Morecambe Bay shining in the distance was too enticing.

*regular followers may recognise these mountains from a fantastic painting I recently blipped....
