| Time to leave the Cumbria Way to find a suitable point to cross the River Caldew |
 |
| The river was quite low today so we crossed it near the point where Blackhazel Beck joins it. Please note that since the devasting floods of 2015 which scoured and deepened parts of the River Caldew this crossing point may now be hazardous |
 |
| Over the river there is a long approach over a wide area of sphagnum moss and reeds to reach the foot of the north ridge |
