Geoff Hand walked up Grike on July 1st, 2025 [from/via/route] Walked from Scaly Moss to Grike, then onto Crag Fell, over Whoap & onto Lank Rigg. Back to the car by Whoap beck to Blakeley raise. [with] none [weather] Started off Sunny then cloud, mist & light rain caught me up at Crag Fell - When I got back to my car, the key fob wouldn't work. Eventually it worked & I had to high tail it to Workington to get a new barrey installed in the key.
