Steel Fell,
Calf Crag,
Gibson Knott and
Helm Crag with Richard.
We started the walk from Town End Farm, just off the
A 591, where all day parking is still available for £1 (one pound!) per
day via a honesty box. The farmer here is very friendly and helpful. From
Town End we walked down the road to Ghyll Foot following the road round to
the right and up onto the open fell. It was a splendid walk in good
weather with excellent views all day. We stopped for a pint at The Badger
Bar in Rydal on the way home.
