Lake District Trek 2018 Day 5

Day 5 saw us walking the 12 miles from Pooley Bridge to Patterdale over 3 Wainwright’s.

The views improved as we climbed higher towards Arthurs Pike.

After Arthurs Pike and Bonscale Fell we dropped down steeply to Howtown and the hotel public bar. Everyone wearing boots is directed to this tiny bar at the back of the hotel with no access to the rest of the hotel. The bar is just a serving hatch.

From Howtown we climbed up to our last peak, Place Fell.

It was fine all day except for the last 20 minutes when we had rain.

We stayed in the White Lion Inn in Patterdale, which is very scruffy and in need of complete refurbishment.

I took a few shots on my Mamiya 7 film camera loaded with Ilford 400 delta 120. All the images here were taken on my Motorola Moto-X phone.
