Paw INDY SAYS: I liked the heather on Outerside but getting off Causey Pike in this direction was a little tricky for me. Nice splash around in the water at Stoneycroft

It has been raining lightly this morning, but forecast to clear up by around 2pm.
We set off at lunchtime on a circuit from Braithwaite to take in Outerside and plan to arrive at Causey Pike in good weather.
Little did we know that we'd be treated to a marvellous long-lasting rainbow.

Narrow path through the heather to Outerside. Heather is beautiful but scratchy if you are wearing shorts...

Rocks are very slippery when wet, care required
