Route Map
It was a warm one today, 22oC
when we set off and getting warmer all the time. Every step was a step
towards heaven, one of those days you dream all winter about. The climb
up to Eagle Crag is very steep from Stonethwaite and the sun beating
down did nothing to ease that, once up there it is a great walk with
lovely views along Langstrath to the Scafells.

It was so hot today - Angus found this
muddy pool which had the consistency of melted chocolate - nice!
