A beautiful short walk up to the summit of Black Fell from Knipe Fold on a glorious sunny afternoon.

Following the trackway from the road at Knipe Fold up to Iron Keld. This photo was taken from only a couple of minutes into the walk. The rounded peak to the left is Red Screes.

Just over the slopes of Red Screes you can see Kirkstone Pass Inn below Caudale Moor.

Through the gate and you're in Iron Keld. Lots of deforestation going on around here.
