Out with the Indoor Gang

Friday October 17th

Been nearly two months since anything outside.  The Harrogate Wall crew came to the rescue with an offer to join in on their Lakes expedition.  Despite my best attempts to foul it up (gave Rodger the wrong email address!) managed to hook up in Langdale for a visit to the always challenging
East Raven Crag
