| 19.13 Panorama 339 After crossing the bridge we turned right and used the path that runs around the bottom of Bannerdale Crags. The path was fine at the start but soon became wet and there were places where it was washed away. We also had to get creative where Bannerdale Beck came in from the left blocking our route and made a difficult crossing. Quite a long slow walk back to the car. | ||
