Dow Crag

Walked on 10/01/2014

Start Point: Walna Scar road (SD 289 970)

Walna Scar road – The Cove – Goat’s Water – South Rake – Dow Crag – Goat’s Hawse – Goat’s Water – Walna Scar Road

Distance: 5.3 miles     Total Ascent: 590 metres     Time Taken: 3 hours 30 minutes     Start Time: 09:30

Weather: Cold wind, overcast, 7°C

First walk of the year…first walk for ages! Great to be back out even though the weather wasn’t really playing today so there are not many photos to speak of. Me and Dougal had a scramble up to Dow Crag via the South Rake, a great way up and this one will be a future walk in Trail magazine.

Dougal at Charmer's Grave - the photo is out of sequence and it's whereabouts remain unrevealed!

Well look at this amazing photo - Dougal has managed to stay still for a whole 1/5 second!
