Distance: 4.6 miles     Total Ascent: 365 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours     Start Time: 09:55

Well, after the long hours sorting out Love the Lakes in Keswick – some in the shop and lots at home as well – it was good to get out on the fells once more and Casper and Dougal were certainly wound up like coiled springs and when I let them out of the car there was no stopping them. This was a good little walk; it was dull and grey but at least it was fine. The rain over the weekend meant the ground was sodden once more and I did manage to get a good boot full crossing Highford Beck near the beginning of the walk!

Dougal and Casper on Little Crag sport their new Striding Edge silicon bands (see below). Want one? Details coming soon, they can be worn on your wrist or attached to your rucksack so you can identify fellow StridingEdge and Love the Lakes followers.
