The Annual Bonington Walk with Berghaus July 2012

In the Howgill Fells

 

Start of the annual Bonington walk for Berghaus. I chose the Howgill Fells, one of my favourites because it’s always quiet and yields some wonderful views – but this time, as so often, they were covered in cloud. I brought my Olympic torch along and everyone had an individual photograph with it.

We are about to set out from the Cross Keys Temperance pub up the valley leading to Cautley Spout.

The summit of the Calf at 676 metres, highest point of the Howgills, was in thick cloud. Summit of the Calf in thick cloud

 
 
 
 
But later on in the morning the cloud cleared as we dropped down over Nab to Crosdale Wood and Farm before walking round to Sedbergh. Killington Reservoir in the background and Morecambe Bay just in sight on the horizon. View once the cloud cleared
