Raven's Crack

There were a few days over the Christmas period that were lovely winter days so we took this opportunity to return to Thirlmere. I have a slight romantic view that it would be nice to complete lots of the Wainwrights together before Darwin & I get too old, he being too old to even care about going out with his dad and me being too old to be able to manage to walk up a Wainwright. Kerry’ll be alright being a lot younger than me.

Today we decided to attempt the summit of Raven Crag. There was a bit of confusion with which peak was which, and before we knew it we realised there were a number of ways to reach the summit of the crag. One was directly up (the way I wanted to go) and the other way towards a peak that Kerry thought the crag was an extra several miles involving going down another valley and back up the summit again. There simply weren’t enough daylight hours in the day!

We descended and bobbed into Brockholes on the way back instead.
