Route Map

Closer to home today with a short, steep ascent up to Caw from Kiln Bank Cross above Broughton Mills (normally I climb Stickle Pike from here). It was a bit grey again but there was a good view beyond the cloudy Scafells to the Pillar group which were bathed in sunshine, as was the west Cumbrian coast.
