Route Map

Another grey day up on Caw today, yet the views were surprisingly quite extensive. Although visible, the distant fells were mainly silhouetted due to the lack of sunlight with only fleeting bursts of sunlight to brighten them.

Hesk Fell across the Duddon Valley, Seat How in the sunshine on the right.
