Skiddaw Little Man from above Millbeck, my line of ascent is to be up the heathery slope right of centre

The weir across Slades Beck or Mill Beck, I'm not sure where one ends and the other begins

The way ahead, a long drag, a 'tedious climb' per AW

Looking across to Carsleddam and Carl Side

The wide band of heather that has to be crossed on the ascent with the two boulders sketched by Wainwright on the centre skyline

Keswick, Derwent Water and the central fells from the ascent of Skiddaw Little Man

The two boulders up close, no where near the summit but they do mark the end of the heather!

The view across to the Helvellyn range

Looking back down the heathery slope to Millbeck on the far side of the trees

The north western fells from my ascent of Skiddaw Little Man
