Dry with cloud lifting so went for this Eskdale group from Wha Farm. Followed Slight Side path to Catcove Beck then up rough grass onto Great How. Then over Whinscales, Dawsonground Crags, Whin Crag and Goat Crag. Pathless and full of humps and little valleys and wouldn't have located summits without GPS. Hard work but good path down at the end.BURGESS11/06/2021
