High Raise

Walked on 28/06/2005

Start point: Stonethwaite (NY 262 137)

Stonethwaite – Eagle Crag (374) – Sergeant’s Crag (375) – High Raise –  Low White Stones (376) – Lining Crag (377) – Stonethwaite

Distance: 7.9 miles     Total Ascent: 837 metres     Time Taken: 3 hours 30 minutes

Weather: Sunny and warm, 26°C.

It was a warm one today, 22°C 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!
