England - Ambleside Walk, Summit Rock

This was very close to the summit of the fell, but the shot below was more typical of what we encountered on the way up.  I was astonished to see some of the more rugged types tackling this trail on mountain bikes, with mixed success.

Some might wonder, what is a fell?  According to Webster's, a fell is "a high barren field or moor" (moor being "an expanse of open rolling infertile land", again credit to Webster's).  I took to saying that it's a large barren hill, not quite a mountain.
