With Jim, Jus and Cat. Round of Black Crags, Buck Pike, Rossett Pike, Tongue Head, Esk Pike, Bowfell North Top and Bowfell from Old Dungeon Ghyll. Bit of a dull bump this one compared to the surrounding drama, although I did like the nearby tiny tarn that was like an infinity pool overlooking Langstrath. | wheresthepath | 01/10/2023 |
