Colin, Bev, Nick, Christine and me attended an FRCC meet based at Beetham Cottage in Patterdale. We took advantage of the fine cold weather to gain the ridge of Hartsop above How by a grade 3 scramble on Gill Crag which we completed with some intentional and unintentional variations. We carried on to Hart Crag and Dove Crag then down by Little Hart Crag and High Hartsop Dodd. The weather stayed fine and we had extensive views in all directions.
On Sunday we were blessed with similar weather and decided on a short day with a round of Birks and Arnison Crag. Once again we enjoyed extensive views, all in all a good week-end with seven summits and a good scrambled ticked off.
