Steel Fell to Helm Crag
Ten of defied the weather forecast to make this round of four Wainwrights over seven and a half miles.
Making the steep pull up to Steel Fell we soon lost any views and spent the rest of the walk in the clouds. The route followed the old Westmorland/Cumberland boundary for a while and we then picked our way through a series of bogs to finally make dry ground on to Calf Crag. After lunch we made our way along the undulating ridge over Gibson Knott.
A final climb to Helm Crag rewarded us with still no views but everyone enjoyed the day.
