Askham Fell, Helton Fell and High Street

Once again we planned to head west today, but when we got down to the A66 it looked grim over that way. A snap decision saw us heading for the sunniest spot we could see which was Askham Fell. We parked at Roehead and then just followed our noses. Shame we didn't have our binocs today, we'd have been able to see our house for a lot of the walk!

Once again, not the walk we had planned, but we managed about 7.5 miles in lovely weather, without seeing too many other folk. Not bad for plan B
