2nd visit on a solo 555 linear bus walk/ jog from Swirls car park to Keswick on a beautiful sunny autumnal day. Down to shorts here as the warmth of weak mid day sun just about beat the chill of the NE breeze. I went out to the minor lower cairned west top then enjoyed weaving through Paper Moss (an unusual name) with at least 10 small knolls all nicely side lit and shadow - a low sun giving good side lighting - the benefit of autumnal / winter walking.Chris Pearson21/11/2023
