Description

Anti clock wise route to do Fairfield Horseshoe but adding in the Scandale Beck valley due to tops being misted in.
Moved Gp up Scandale Beck over low Sweden Bridge along to Scandale Pass. then along fell tops ticking off remaining Navigational training objectives for the course.
Tried to find Priests hole cave for the Gp to use for a lunch stop - frustratingly could not find it....will return on another date to find!
Once up on Fairfield weather was windy but amazing visibility
