Eleven of us (plus 3 dogs) set off from Sedbergh and as we made our way along the valley towards Cautley under grey misty skies those of a pessimistic nature may have thought it was not a day to be on the hills
however there was no such thoughts from CMC and shortly after the ascent up the hillside by Cautley Spout the skies started to clear and blue skies appeared.
Various lines of approach were made to get to the top but most seem to involve deep snow at some point.
Once reformed and with lunch on board we headed up to The Calf trig point.
Upon leaving The Calf the mist had rolled in and we headed along the ridge in atmospheric conditions with the sun threatening to break through
which it kindly did after the top of Calders.
We followed the ridge passing Arant Haw by which time the sun was begging to set
After a brief stop we left the main ridge and headed down to Sedbergh getting back before the necessity of a headtorch was required. Many thanks to John for organising the walk. T’was a grand day out.
A few more photos are on my facebook page (you don’t need a facebook account to view them)
It was a quality outing.

A great day in the hills. Couldn’t have asked for better views
