Tree beside Black Force, Carlin Gill, Howgill Fells near Sedbergh, Yorkshire Dales National Park, Cumbria, UK

            Directly behind this tree on Ulgill Rigg, Little Ulgill Beck falls ~100 m vertically (in a cascade, not single drop) over Black Force to join Carlingill Beck, visible at the lower right.  The steep slope on the right, facing the waterfall, is the Screes of Black Force.

It's difficult for a photo to demonstrate the scale of the slopes lining the upper end of Carlin Gill (and most other Howgill valleys), but those trees beside the beck are indeed fully tree-sized – they're not huge, but they're not bushes!

Behind, two tributaries join the main beck: Small Gill and Heskaw Gill. The haziness behind the tree indicates that they were being fed by new rain at the time of the photo – which was heading my way....
The left ridge continues as Back Balk to Gallows Hill overlooking Fairmile Road (a single track Roman road) and the Lune Gorge. Beyond is Greyrigg Pike, 4 km away in the Lake District National Park, and more rain largely obscuring Borrowdale.

Beyond the Screes of Black Force, the slope on the right rises to Uldale Head, forming the northern side of Carlin Gill. Blease Fell is at the end, 2½ km away.
