The weather was a bit better for our second walk. Phil led a cracking walk with fine views of Eskdale and of many of the mountains in the vicinity, including Scafell Pike which we couldn't see the day before because of the fog. Setting off from the campsite, we followed the River Esk upstream before turning off up Birker Fell, heading for Harter Fell. We then made our way over to the Hardknott Pass and up to the summit of Hard Knott, some of us choosing to go via Border End. Then, heading north we dropped down to Lingcove Beck, admiring the spectacular waterfalls, paused at Lingcove Bridge again, and returned back along the River Esk, calling at the Woolpack Inn for a couple of Pints.
