17-04-2009 - Steel Fell, Calf Crag, Gibson Knott and Helm Crag with Paul D.

 

The weather was surprisingly good apart from a little wind from time to time. We didn't feel it was necessary to climb to the top of the 'Howitzer' on Helm Crag. An excellent walk was rounded off with a couple of pints at the Royal Oak in Ambleside.
