Whoap to Wastwater

Unusually for a Friday night we did not stay near a pub, but pitched at the top of Whoap Beck.
The weather forecast had been bad for the weekend, but Saturday was clear of rain, although it threatened until mid afternoon.
We walked over Caw Fell and Seatallen towards Broad Crag overlooking Wastwater, eventually coming back north to pitch south of Caw Fell.
