"The Highest point, small and rocky, is a pleasant place for a halt and quiet contemplation of the scenery: sheep think so, too."

A Wainwright

From the rocky summit cairn of Calf Crag can be seen a wonderful view of the Far Easdale valley below ane east along the ridge over Gibson Knott to Helm Crag.

A great walk includes the circuit of Steel Fell, Calf Crag, Gibson Knott and Helm Crag, but other fine walks can be had by continuing from Calf Crag over High Raise or Sergeant Man or also by dropping down into the Far Easdale or Greenburn Valleys below.

Buttermere to Braithwaite, Wednesday 4th May 2016. Accompanied by Ross who is not only the "Carlsberg Lager" of guides (probably the finest guide in the world) but also the nicest person you could ask to meet! The gradients on this walk are wicked but Ross allowed it all to go at my pace, which can best be described as moderate-to-slow. We varied the route a bit, not doing Grasmoor or Hopegill Head (too steep for me) but the views from Whiteless Pike and Grisedale Pike were awesome. A perfect day's walking. And if you should come across my car keys (lost somewhere up there - d'oh) please hand them in to TLDW for me. Thanks! Steve Edwards
