| 15.46 Panorama 535 We parked at the church which was quite busy with lots of families walking up Hallin Fell. We walked up the path along the side of Steel Knots first. At one point we lost the path and ended up in Bracken that was well above our heads. We then spotted the path 10m to our right and battled through to rejoin it.. |
