Today one of my photos was featured in the Squarespace Circle monthly newsletter! Taken atop Fleetwith Pike it looks out over Dale Head, the first Lake District fell I ever walked.

Somehow we managed to do five fells in one small trip to The Lake District in April 2019. It’s almost like we knew what was to come the year after. By some miracle of added foresight I took photos of the same view on both my Canon Eos 7D Mark II and my iPhone 8 which gives the opportunity for some great side-by-side comparisons.

Rannerdale Knotts is the second out of 214 fells in my journey to walk all the fells of the Lake District. With startlingly high confidence in my iPhone 8 and no foresight whatsoever, I set out for the Rannerdale Knotts without my DSLR. Weirdly, this ties in to my previous post about the differences, advantages and disadvantages of DSLR cameras and iPhone cameras. A common theme seems to be bubbling to the surface in these posts, almost as if I’d always planned for it..

Dale Head was the first fell I ever did and I didn’t even know it.

Follow my journey to walk all the fells of the Lake District. Today I’ll be chatting about my first fell ever: Dale Head. I also compare the photos I took with my Canon EOS 7D Mark II and my iPhone 8.

Latrigg a great little mini-fell that won’t take up your whole day, so you can easily plan something else alongside it. I wouldn’t say it was my favourite fell so far, but the views over Keswick and Borrowdale are stunning and well worth the walk.
