We went to the Lake District late on Tuesday afternoon and set off on a two day walk. We walked up Walla Crag from Castle Rigg.

Walla Crag (230m) |
Then we walked up Bleaberry fell and then set up camp near to High Seat.

 |
| Our worst ever camp site. |
We had to walk a long way for water because it had not rained for a while. I needed to use Alistair's stove because I had ran out of gas.
The Next day we got up early. The weather was drizzly and at times foggy so we had to use a compass at times to navigate.

 |
| High Tove (515m). |
When we got to the top of High Tove we took a bearing to Armboth Fell. We did this as there was not an obvious peak to aim for.

Armboth |
After leaving Armboth it was difficult finding a way through the bogs back to the path.
 |
| Ullscarf (726m) |
We followed (hand railed) a fence close (about 500m) to Ullscarf. Because it was foggy and because the fence was no longer there we took a bearing from a key place and paced our steps to the top; we were pretty close.
 |
| High raise ((762m) |
When I got to the top of High Raise I was feeling really tired so we decided to head down.
 |
| Stickle Tarn from Sergeant Man (720m) the start of our descent. |
On the way down we quickly bagged Sergeant Man. Because I was tired and it was bumpy I struggled on the way down. But when I got to the bottom, had a drink and a bite to eat I felt much better.
