| 15.25 Panorama 614 Outerside summit. Not too much time to linger as the light was dropping fast. I couldn't help but think back to the first time we were here in very different conditions to today. I decided to go down the front of Outerside as I was short of time to reach Barrow. Although the front is steep and slower walking it is probably still the quicker way and also visits Stile End. |
