No one on the road to Grasmere - we're nice and early

A view of the Howitzer on Helm Crag from Dunmail Raise

Clouds over Grasmere, looks as if we'll be above them

There is a lot of haze over Helm Crag. You can see the Lion and the Lamb if you look closely

As we start up Easedale Road the haze has lifted

The first line of the top sign is very wise. This is our turning for Helm Crag

Starting up this engineered path

It's an easy stroll to Calf Crag

from where we contine on for a while before looping around

There is a very boggy section here - it looks as if Rex is wearing grey socks!
