Overview

We will walk up wonderful Far Easedale following the gill to Calf Grag and then along the ridge taking in Gibson Knott and Helm Crag before a steep descent down. The walk will be on good paths up to Calf Crag and then along the ridge there will be some boggy sections to negotiate. For those wanting to tick off some Wainwrights, there are three on the walk. This walk will be done at a moderate pace.
