High Pike and (nearly) Carrock Fell

Friends staying for a few days gave us chance to have a sunny (but rather hazy) walk, so we thought we'd take the chance to do a linear walk. Leaving one car at Calebreck, we drove to Fellside and walked up through the old mine workings on to High Pike. The plan was to then go across to Carrock and then head down to the second car at Calebreck.
Lunch with a view and a sudden realisation that we had left the keys for car number 2, in car number 1, made us change our plans a little! So instead, we did a circular walk.

Lingy Hut, just beyond Great Lingy Hill - pictured are Buddy (neighbours dog who we were looking after), Simon, Sally, Husband and Her Ladyship. From here we headed Off Piste to Roughton Gill mines and back to the car at Fellside.
A different route than anticipated, but just as enjoyable and Hattie's longest for a while. About 8 miles, not bad for a 90 something year old equivalent!
