| Comments: | The day had promised to be dry with a heavy frost but we travelled into mist as we approached the Lake District. The route onto and off Home Fell was not easy in the mist and I made good use of my GPS. The same was true, to an extent on Black Crag, known as Black Fell in Wainwright's book. | ||
