All 4 of us on this walk, Paul was driving.  We started from Patterdale and walked along the flat for a while and then started climbing to St Sunday Crag.  It was one of those deceptive climbs with shoulder after shoulder before we arrived at the top.  This picture is looking towards the top of St Sunday Crag from our bait stop.

St Sunday Crag had a really steep descent which really crippled my knee.   But thats another one down and 12 this year which I am pleased about.  If I can do another 12 next year I will be happy.
