Sedbergh to Beckfoot.... 

(....in reverse, with a forecast of -12c arctic  wind from the north west I decided to do this walk starting from Beckfoot to have the strong cold wind behind me!)

10.5miles 2850ft

Leaving Beckfoot just before the sun rose over the Howgill fells....

....and again

One of the many railway viaducts in this area on the disused line to Tebay

Crossing the river Lune from west to east....

....with my first climb in the Howgills to a sunny 

White fell 

Crossing the river Lune

Climbing into the fells along Calf Beck

White fell again

Looking back west towards Beckfoot

Many minor ridges lead west off the main summit ridge

Killington lake next to the M6 services of the same name

The trig point on 'The Calf' the highest fell in the Howgills at 2218ft

Snow capped Lakeland fells were just visible on the horizon

The M6 motorway emerging from the 'Lune Gap'

Looking back along the ridge to The Calf from Calders summit

The first walkers I'd seen all day following on the path behind

Now on Winder my last summit of the walk where I finally stopped for lunch with a view to....

 Sedbergh my destination

My decision to walk Day 4 of my walk from Clapham to Cockermouth in reverse proved to be well worth it. The bitter cold north westerly wind was a least coming from behind which made it manageable. Unlike the lakeland fells there are no wind shelters in the Howgills..

A challenging day's walking but never the less very enjoyable and immensely satisfying
