Date: 18th September 2006
Walk No.4
Wainwright summits: High Rigg
Distance: 5.5 miles
Ascent: 1380 feet
Time: 3h 45m
Weather: A bright sunny day with little wind.
We stopped off at Legburthwaite car park on our way to a cottage we had rented near Bassenthwaite to do this walk. We couldn't take the cottage over until 3pm so this was a good way of filling some time in.
As we ascended I took this picture of Raven Crag.
And also looking back down the valley with Great How on the right.
Higher on the ridge the Skiddaw Fells came into view.
Getting nearer the summit comes into view.
Edith on High Rigg with Blencathra behind.
There was a bit of a breeze by now as you can see by my hair.

Tewet Tarn in the foreground with Lonscale Fell on the left and Blease Fell on the right. The point in the far centre is Great Calva.

Edith is ready to move on.
Dave is more reluctant. We eventually returned to the car via a bridleway down St.John's in the Vale.
