A friend has just taken up hill-walking and asked me if I'd accompany him on a walk. I only had time for a short half day's walk so with an an early start: Cat Bells, Maiden Moor & High Spy where picked due to their fine views & relative ease. These would be my friend's 5,6 & 7th Wainwright & the 600th for my four legged walking companion. As the Newland Valley was still in shade (it doesn't see the sun once winter comes) we descended by the Rigghead Quarries to Borrowdale and returned to the car using the busy valley footpaths.
