Wyth Burn, Calf Fell, Steel Fell

This is the first set of photos - there are more to upload later 

A walk from Wythburn following the course of Wyth Burn into the quiet valley beneath the eastern fells, gradually climbing through rugged, open country towards Middle How. Beyond Middle How, the climb continues towards Calf Crag, where the landscape becomes increasingly exposed. 

From Calf Crag, the route follows the ridge towards Steel Fell, crossing a succession of undulating slopes. The descent back towards Wythburn is steep in places, but the views across Thirlmere and towards Helvellyn provide a fitting finale to the hike.

Langstrath Valley, Lake District

Tuesday. Windy day with some sunshine and showers.

The Langstrath Valley is one of the quieter and more secluded corners of the Lake District, tucked between the rugged slopes of Borrowdale and the high fells of the central mountains. Following the course of Langstrath Beck, the valley offers a combination of open fellside, rocky outcrops, cascading water and rugged mountain scenery.  It is a classic glacial valley. Its broad, U-shaped profile was carved by moving ice during the Ice Age, leaving steep sides and a relatively wide valley floor.
