What a difference in the weather. Yesterday pouring down, today beautiful sunshine. We parked at Scaly Moss and followed the easy forest track north of Blakekey through cleared forest and up to a style in the fence with the path clearly leading up to our first summit Grike. Next on the agenda was Crag fell, again an easy walk down passing the weather station mast and up on to summit.
the views of the Ennerdale fells were fantastic and as the weather was so good we decided to continue the walk heading back down to the now felled wood and up on to Woap, initially following the wall heading for Caw but soon heading south to find the path marked on the map.
It was a simple descent and ascent on to our final summit Lank Rigg, the wind beginning to increase but the views over the west coast were magnificent.
It was quite long walk back down along Woap Beck with a helicopter hovering for some time over Crag Fell. Then a slight climb over the col, now south of Blakeley, and back to along the road to the car.
Time 5hrs
