Route Map
It was very still and warm this morning
for our walk up to the popular Gummer's How. The high fells were mainly
in cloud today but we had great views along the length of Windermere.
The top was populated not with people today, but irritating flies -
thousands of them! This meant we didn't hang around for too long...
The steep stone staircase to Gummer's
How.
Red Screes and Caudale Moor at the head
