Wasdale cloudscape - a change from mountains and lakes

Went up the mighty Irton Pike yesterday afternoon (appx 30 mins easy amble!) to catch the sunset but instead I saw some fanatstic clouds - the valley was bathed in sunshine but the tops were the start point for some towering pillows of cloud.

If ever you're in Wasdale don't miss the Irton Pike experience in the late afternoon/evening - ideal as a prelude for a couple of beers at the Bridge Inn at the foot of Irton Pike, or to help digest their huge sunday lunch carvery.
