Day 2 Honister to Grasmere

Honister Youth Hostel
Only three other guests staying and just myself opting for the full English it was a quiet but relaxing start to the  day,with rucksack packed it was time to head off for Grasmere. First it would be a road walk to Stonethwaite via Seatoller and then up to Lining Crag and Greenup Edge.
Looking back to Stonethwaite
Path to Lining Crag

When i got to Greenup Edge maybe looking at the map should have prompted me to change plan and taken in Calf Crag and on to Gibson Knot then Helm Crag and in to Grasmere that way,but not thinking lunch was taken at the small tarn at Brownrigg Moss even though i watched people heading for Calf Crag.That can be saved for another day as i had to be in Grasmere before the Gingerbread shop closed.
After walk round Grasmere and gingerbread bought it was a bit early to check in at YHA Butharlyp Howe so best action was to The Traveller's Rest for a well earned pint.
