A Wuthering Wasdale Wander

From Shap summit we will walk the wild Wasdale horseshoe, where atmospheric tumult drives rain across the sodden moor, the wind lashes gaunt thorns, and bogs clutch at our boots. The circuit takes us over Great Yarlside (1,939 ft) to the bleak and solitary Grey Crag (2,093 ft), and hence to Tarn Crag (2,176 ft), brooding above lonely Longsleddale. We return by way of streaming beck and untamed moorland, until at length we attain the welcome haven of our waiting conveyances.
