Eskdale
15th May 2009 to 17th May 2009

I spent a weekend in Eskdale with a small group of CUHWC members and duffers. Despite a number of heavy and prolonged showers, the clouds were generally clear of the tops and we enjoyed some excellent views and even a few sunny spells! We took in most of the nearby fells, walking from Slight Side to Esk Pike on Saturday, and from Green Crag to Hard Knott on Sunday.
