LONGER WALK - 'THE CALF' - message from Walk Leaders, Andy and Denise:
The walk starts at Joss Lane Car Park. The morning part of the walk is a gradual uphill climb to “The Calf” , where we plan to have lunch.  After lunch we start the descent which takes us over a variety of terrains. We go past the fabulous Cautley Spout Waterfall, after which we head back towards Sedbergh.
The walk took us approximately 6 hours and we had great weather which resulted in fantastic views.
This iconic walk is demanding but is well worth the effort! We plan to have quite a few stops to take in the views (fingers crossed for the weather), so please ensure that you have plenty of refreshments!
