Strated the walk joining the Cumbria Way at Peter House farm and followe the main path along Dash Beck to the top of the waterfall Here having crossed the beck oon the main path, we headed straight up the left hand edge of the valley by a wire fence. A short steep ascent quite slippery in places, good to have the wire to cling on to. Our first summit was Little Calva which was easily attined following the wall. We then crossed the moreland tho aim for Great Calva. Fortunately not too boggy.This bit can become very wet accordiing to a walker we passed on the way up to Great Calva.
On reaching the summit we descended by taking the gentle south ridge and then south west to rejoin the Cumbrian Way about 1k further along frm where we left.
Throughout the walk the colour of the purple late summer heather on the surrounding hillsides we wonderful.
