It was a bit of an overcast day as we left Longlands and headed on to the common.

 There were patches of sun behind us on Binsey.

Brae fell over Charleton Gill.

A hint of sun now on Brae Fell behind.

Knott summit cairn.

We were now heading to Great Calva, at this time just free of cloud.

The route from Knott to great calva follows this path down into the col and up onto the ridge.

From the col to last pull up to the top the path was really wet and slippy, this pool of peaty mud around the stile was about a foot deep (Zeta found this out!) .

Binsey and Overwater.

We were heading up to the Great Sca Fell col, a route we had done before. Instead of reaching the col we contoured across under the summit of Little Sca Fell to pick up an old un-marked path on the fell side.

from the summit we made a direct descent to Longlands, you can make out the faint path near the sheep on the left but its not a route marked in the Pictorial Guides.

Nice house.

and soon back at the start.

On the way home...  Burn Tod from near Peter's House.
