Fleetwith Pike not quite dipping its peak into the southern end of Buttermere Lake on a glorious morning to be out on the fells, though it was definitely a little chilly in the shadows.

The view from (just below) the summit cairn of Fleetwith Pike is felt by many to be one of the Lake District's best. So who am I to argue? Buttermere lake is flanked by the "Buttermere Pikes" - High Crag, Grey Crags with Red Pike just peeping over its side with the 'bump' of Dodd below. Beyond Buttermere are Crummock Water (bisected by Rannerdale Knotts) and Loweswater beyond the steep flank of Mellbreak.
