Cross boggy country from Calf Crag to the tarn and then along the fence line to the top. All to myself, a glorious evening. On top at 8.15 pm and down in Grasmere in about an hour. This is a great short round with great views. The hills are not high but the situation is magnificent. 
About 15 km in a leisurely 4.25 hours with lots of stops for views and photos. | worldclimbs | 15/06/2022 |
