Helton Tarn A shy and retiring body of water in the Winster Valley. There are no rights of public access and this is a zoom shot from the limestone ridge of Yewbarrow. Beyond is the farm of Low Tarn Green.

Footpath through Rankthorns Plantation Densely-packed trees allow little light and so the woodland floor has little undergrowth.

Tarn on Simpson Ground Allotment Too new to appear on either of the two maps I was carrying. Given the amount of new tree plantings around here it may have been created with some environmental aims in mind. Alternatively, it may be to attract birds for shooting purposes.

Ford, Simpson Ground Allotment The track across the allotment crosses Way Beck. There are some stepping stones on the upstream side. Beyond are the dark conifers of Chapel House Plantation which hide Simpson Ground Reservoir.

The monument on Raven's Barrow The purpose of the monument (if there ever was one) is no longer apparent, there being no inscription apart from very old graffiti. Despite the lowly height the view is excellent over the valley towards Whitbarrow.

The cairn on Raven's Barrow (Cartmel Fell) Described on the map (Outdoor Leisure 7) as a monument, but there appears to be no extant evidence as to whom the monument was erected.
Cartmel Fell, 162m, is one of the 116 Wainwright Outlying Fells, but it is not a "summit" and the ground rises gently to the north-west, culminating in Gummer's How (321m).

The view from Cartmel Fell A GPS reading for the photographer position, and the small tarn in the centre of the picture, pinpoint this precisely. The low ridge on the left is Yewbarrow (but not the better-known one above Wastwater!).
