Well... not really. If you want to go round Kinder from the Hayfield
side you don't really have much choice as to routes and start/end
points. It was pretty much deserted today, but try going up in the
middle of the day in good weather in spring - you'll be bumping into
people every few seconds!

That looks uncannily like;

taken by Chris Lawrence when we went round Lantern Pike a while ago.
They're fearsome-looking, for sure, but apparently very placid. And also
very inquisitive, which was probably why it was giving you the hard
stare. That said, I still feel slightly nervous around them and always
try to make sure I've got a wall or fence a few yards away.
>excellent shots BTW,
Thanks - they were the "best" of a very large bunch, most of which
suffered from camera-shake. Fortunately I took two or three of every
view.
>I must get a decent camera
Mine's am Ixus 40. Don't know if it's "decent", but it does for me.
Liked your shot of The Downfall, BTW.
