Looking across to the Pennines
A fingerpost indicates the path to the summit
Looking back to The Hause from the start of the climb
A grooved path heads directly up the slope but it's easier to follow a graded path to the right which soon turns back and joins the grooved path at a higher level above its initial steep section
Looking to Great Dodd and Clough Head
The Far Eastern Fells
Fairfield and Helvellyn
The path eventually joins a shepherd's path which makes a rising traverse across the southern slopes of the fell
Looking back along the shepherd's path to Arthur's Pike above a mist shrouded Ullswater
Blencathra comes into view as a path breaks off right towards the upper slopes of the fell . . .
. . . and leads directly to the summit
Looking back to Ullswater from the upper slopes
The summit trig column soon comes into view
The summit of Little Mell Fell
The summit of Little Mell Fell
