Walla Crag and Bleaberry

A brief trip out this morning ...good views and only the one hail/snow shower. We parked at the National Trust car park at Calfclose Bay and followed the National Trust signage for Walla Crag. This indicated 2 miles and 2 hours (we took 1hr), which took us back across to Castlerigg and Rake Foot before following the wall along the crag top and crossing through it at the large pile of stones to follow a minor path along the crag itself. This gave us good views across Derwent Water which was brimful after yesterday's down pours. Then onto Bleaberry Fell and we returned down the path that follows Cat Gill, which was steep and quite rough. Definitely the correct way to do this circuit!
