We parked up at the car park at the beginning of the Walna Scar road and carried on walking up the road to the col and then headed up Brown Pike and went along the ridge to Dow Crag. the light was lovely and sunny. As we got to Dow Crag it got a bit claggy and a bit snowy. fantastic day we wore our stiff boots with the yeti gaiters. After the walk we headed back to kendal for a McDonalds. It was nice to be back on the lakeland fells.
