Used a bit of flexi time for a lovely afternoon in the most beautiful corner of The Howgills.

This was my first visit to Cautley Spout - which is really impressive - and I was also keen to get to the Nuttall Summit of Bush Howe which would require an out and back. I also decided to add in Fell Head and the previously unvisited Simon's Seat as they were close by. Returning back over The Calf again and then Bram Rigg Top, Calders, Great Dummacks and a steep and direct descent back to valley level.

Hot with little wind.
