SERGEANT MAN - the view is of mountains almost exclusively, not valleys. HIGH RAISE - the fell's attractions, except as a viewpoint and an easy promenade are limited CALF CRAG - The highest point, small and rocky, is a pleasant place for a halt an quiet contemplation of the scenery. GIBSON KNOTT - the summit is interesting, other parts less so. HELM CRAG - affectionately known as "The Lion and The Lamb" A. Wainwright |

This was one of those walks were my mind was telling me I wanted to walk and my body was telling me I'm too tired to walk. Thankfully the mind won, though I have never been as tired at the end of a walk as I was at the finish of this one. I still enjoyed it
