Great Calva and Little Calva

Another good walk yesterday - work is going to be a shock on Monday! Tried to park up at Peter House Farm, except the parking was all taken up, so parked at the junction at Cassbeck Bridge just to the north. Up along the Cumbria Way to Dash Beck and then along the track towards Skiddaw House - a very easy way of gaining height. At the point where the track crosses Dead Beck a path takes you up to the summit of Great Calva. Great views, although it was hazy in the unseasonable warmth and sunniness. From Great Calva an obvious track leads across the bog but peters out, so head for the fence where the path once again becomes apparent and leads to the summit of Little Calva. From there we followed the fence and onto the shoulder that leads down to White Hause. We then headed down to Dash Farm, but the gate leading through the property says 'No right of way' so we followed the intake wall back up towards Dash Beck where we were able to cross and return to the original track to return to the car.
