The walker nearest the camera has sunglasses perched on her head and her long dark hair tied up. She wears a pink T-shirt that has a sort of tie-dyed pattern of yellows and very light blues. She carries a black rucksack and wears dark green shorts and brown walking boots. She also has two thin black hiking sticks. There are large rolling peaks in the background and clouds high in the sky. The path is stony but clearly marked and well trodden between the short grass of the fell.
