StridingEdge - 12th January 2005

Wednesday 12th January 2005

Start point: Seathwaite, Dunnerdale (SD 228 960)

Seathwaite - Park Head Road - Caw (OF) - Pikes (OF) - Green Pikes (OF) - Seathwaite

Weather: Mainly dull and with rain and strong winds towards the end.

Well, the high winds of last night dropped by lunchtime and the skies were blue (sometimes!) so I managed to fit in a quick walk this afternoon. Today's walk follows Wainwright's Caw chapter in his book 'The Outlying Fells of Lakeland', page 120. The pyramid of Caw is recognisable from many other places in the Lake District and really deserves to be included in the full Wainwright list - whatever, it is still worth a visit.

Looking along Park Head Road. Esk Pike is in the distance, directly in line with the road, next right is the pointy Bow Fell, Crinkle Crags and Cold Pike.
