Description

Stared the day at Little Town with two family groups.Headed up Scope Beck and up the dam. We headed up the steep ground to Blea Crags and visibility dropped to 20 metres. Rainwear was needed for the higher section as well as navigation. We used an emergency shelter for a break on the summit, and then headed around the horseshoe route until we go to col.
We encountered some lost walkers and showed them where they were and pointed them in the right direction.
We then summited Hindscarth before heading down the nose of High Crags and back for a de-brief in the pub.
