Route Map
This morning's walk was a fairly round of
Lower Eskdale which brought a mixed bag of weather with the greyness
clearing towards the end with a fair amount of warmth. Even though these
fells were small in stature for Eskdale, there were superb views to the
head of the valley, especially from the lowly Goat Crag. The valley was
very quiet today, a scene which will change for sure next week during
the school holidays.
