Langdale, the Howgill Fells Having abandoned our plan to gain the ridge above we decided to descend into Langdale and make our way out. The easterly winds have deposited soft snow on the steep slope and in the scree gully making progress slow and tricky. Langdale is the longest and most remote of the Howgill valleys and few walkers come this way.
