Wrynose Pass - Little Cars - Great Carrs - Swirl How - Wetherlam - Swirl How - Grey Friar - Wrynose Pass
A lovely day started at 9:30 after getting to Wrynose Pass from Dalton. Damson the Dacshund cross and I treked up the flanks onto Little Carrs & Great Carrs rounding the ridge upto Swirl How stopping by the memorial.

I made the decision to bypass Grey Friar at the time thinking that if we had the time we could get it later that afternoon (if we had completed it then I believe the walk may have been very different).

From Swirl How we ventured down Prison Band and onto Wetherlam where we grabbed a bite to eat watching the hordes of ants climbing the Old Man across the valley.

At this point my decision earlier started to play on my mind and I wished I'd taken the different route as going back to bag Grey Friar meant climbing back up Prison Band which we did.

Otherwise I may have headed round in a big horseshooe heading for the reservoir and climbing back up Wrynose. Views from Grey Friar made my decision worthwhile though.

Bumped into a few friendly people on our trip round and had a great day. Stopped at Three Shires Pub on way home.

You don't have to do them all in one go you know - they're worth another visit!
Dalton must be a nice place to live...
