[weather] cloudy with rain. - Retracing my steps I continued along the Pennine Way until it began to climb around the slopes of Cross Fell. At a junction of paths I took the left track which looped around the eastern slopes of Cross Fell to Tees Head the source of the river Tees. Not far beyond I picked up the flagstoned footpath of the Pennine Way again. From here I descended down to the col then easily up the facing slope to reach the cairn marking the top of Little Dun Fell. Unfortunately the view was non existent due to the low cloud which continued to cover the tops.
