Walkers on Silver How

Pike O'Blisco Crinkle Crags, Bowfell and the Langdale Pikes

For some the need for another beer is stronger than the need for another Wainwright

I didn't feel confident about which outcrop was actually the summit of Blea Crag but everybody else went for this one

This also looked a possible contender but only Richard and I could be bothered bagging it

The rest of the party is still huddled on the southern top
