NY3015 : The upper reaches of Launchy Gill
taken 7 years ago, 3 km from Watendlath, Cumbria, England
The upper reaches of Launchy Gill
The gill in its upper reaches is more of a huge open bowl rather than the more usual narrow mountain valley. After reaching the edge of the forest it plunges down to the unseen Thirlmere below the snow-capped Helvellyn range. Launchy Tarn is the slight widening of the stream.
