In the footsteps of the Bishop and beyond
Caldbeck Fells
Following the previous evening’s excesses, Anna, Sabiene, Andy and Ian scoffed a full English at the local cafe and then tried to walk it off over High Pike and Great Lingy Fell. What a day, cold and crisp with great views. We stopped at the hut for a coffee and chocolates and headed back down.
