Today we had a walk up the east ridge of Bannerdale Crags. The views weren’t so great and neither are the photos but the fresh air and the silence was. This route will feature in Trail magazine in the August edition.

The Wainwright summit cairn on Bannerdale Crags. I don't know who that cheery old chappie was - he no speak and he no move!
On the highest point - has he gone yet?
