| 15.54 We stopped for lunch on Calf Crag but it was wet so I didn't take pictures. It then dried up for the rest of the afternoon. It was one of those days when the sun frequently broke through gaps in the clouds to highlight different patches on the fells. We began the walk along the very uneven ridge towards Gibson Knott. | ||
