Sarah Moore walked up Walla Crag on June 9th, 2024 [from/via/route] c201 Just didn't want to go home on Sunday morning so early when all packed up & ready to go by 7.30am. Suddenly remembered this & thought it would be great; it was. Loved the route & will definitely be doing it again. 3 hours 30mins >> 2 hours 18mins [with] On my own [weather] A bit drizzly to start, but then dry - crazy wind on the top but just so fresh. - Fab shorter walk - so much more than a "fill in." The wind was insane at the top - but had thought there was so much more to do & delighted to have already completed it! Ran / jogged / leapt a lot of the way back from the peak & couldn't stop grinning (even in big blue coat).
