Walk will be led by Roger L

A moderate pace up to the top of Crossfell for lunch with the views of the Eden Valley and the Lake District and return to Kirkland. This will only work if the weather is kind (ie high cloud or sun) and if not, the walk will do a lower level route taking in parts of the Maiden Way returning by the lower flanks of Crossfell.
