4. Its nice to sit and take in the view.
5. You might well look a bit sheepish.
6. Thats one rock hard bracket fungi (Ganoderma).
7. Not sure what this is, they are small and the size of a match head.
8. Don't know why, but there are a lot of coins hammered in to the top of this and other felled trees.
9. Dappled shade, and time to stand still for a while.
10. Spore heads of sphagnum moss.
And there it is, a pleasant walk, but a bit muddy underfoot.

The coin tree is a kind of superstition - I've seen the one at Aira Force waterfall near Ullswater.
