After our failed attempt at a walk on Friday, we had another go today. This time Jay was with us, and we didn't have a time limit so we could go a bit further. Off we went to Swineside and parked just before Grainsgill Bridge again.
 |
| This is a regular spot for a dog walk, Breeze knows her way around here. Off we go down the Cumbria Way again. |
 |
| That's Great Calva ahead. We will be climbing up the fence line which you can see as a green line in the heather. |
 |
| Looking back from part way up the steep climb. |
 |
| As we get near to the top, the clouds that have been obscuring the view start to roll away a bit. It was incredibly still today, so low cloud rolled around all day although we were never actually in cloud. |
 |
| We stopped for lunch on the top of Great Calva. Breeze is beginning to learn that a rest at lunch time is a good idea. |
 |
| Tired eyes. |
 |
| Enjoying the view |
 |
| Mummies Little Princess! |
 |
| After lunch we walked on to Knott. Looking back down to Thirlmere, Great Calva is the pointy fell on the right. |
 |
| Knott summit |
 |
| Spot the difference |
 |
| From Knott we headed across to Great Lingy Hut. |
 |
| Before heading back down to Grainsgill Beck About 8.5 miles today. Warm and still and hardly anyone about. Not a bad start to the week. |
