Scorching Bank Holiday morning on the Howgills. Not too far to go and not too busy. All important things for what would be a busy Bank Holiday.

Lovely ridge walking to Calders

Yorkshire hills from Calders

Heading for The Calf

With a short detour to Bram Rigg Top

The Calf

Back to The Calf from Fell Head

Plenty of ways back to Sedbergh from here but it was such a nice day that the best way looked to be to retrace the steps back over the ridges. This did involve a decent re-ascent back to Bush Howe and The Calf though.

Crook ahead now - an alternative way down to Winder

Arant Haw from Crook

Settlebeck Gill and Crook
