Time was in short supply today but the weather was far too good to miss this direct walk to Steel Fell climbing the north ridge. It was really warm but very hazy so the views weren’t so far reaching – nice to feel warm sunshine on my back today though.

The incline suddenly becomes much gentler en route to the summit. Casper finds the best way to cross the fence whilst Dougal...watches sheep!

Following the fence along the ridge to Calf Crag, beyond is Greenup Edge where I walked on Monday. I made up today's walk as I went along and opted for the quick descent route following the fence down from the corner in this photo.
