Bakestall and Great Calva

DATE 14.05.2025

If today goes as planned, we finish the northern fells region. Another dry day, feeling pleased that we waited for the right time of year to hit these fells. Even the deepest bog had a crust on top, which also meant we could move much quicker.

The track/road into the hills from Peter House Farm provided a very gentle start as it slowly ascended towards our targets for today. That relaxing amble suddenly ended as we turned right for a very steep climb up onto Bakestall. Fortunately the wind which had been plaguing us for the last 2 days was now blocked off by the Skiddaw range. After descending back down the same very steep track, there was no rest. It was straight up the other side on an even steeper track up towards Little Calva. The rest of the route to our second target fortunately gentle and what would normally be a very boggy area, was very dry.
