Route Map
It was hazy and grey this afternoon for a
quick sprint up to Caw. Always a fave this one but nearly a
year since I have been up there which surprised me when I
looked. Obviously I need to get out more.
The dark pyramid of Caw beyond the sunlit Fox Haw.
Brock Barrow and the Park Head Road.
Looking back to Stickle Pike.
Following the Park Head Road.
Harter Fell dominating the Duddon Valley. Behind is
the looming shape of Scafell with Esk Pike to the right. At the front,
above Seathwaite, is Wallowbarrow Crag.
The Duddon Valley from the slopes of Fox Haw.
The western face of Caw which was the route of descent
later.
Why the long face Casper?
Checking out the Duddon Valley below from the top of
