Some central Fells
Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:50 pmAfter a glorious Thursday I was determined to enjoy the following day just as much. Although somewhat stiff from the previous days walking, it was in glorious sunshine that I set off towards Easedale Beck having parked just outside of Grasmere. A nice gentle walk up towards Sourmilk Gill and Easedale Tarn then I took a right and shot straight up over Greathead Crag towards my first target Tarn Crag.
From there it was a relatively straightforward walk up towards Coledale Head and from there to Sergeant Man. The weather wasn't quite as nice as the previous day, it began to cloud over a bit, but at no point did I ever have to add to my shorts and t-shirt combo.
Without having to loose or gain too much height it was over to Thunacar Knott and then a bit of a hop over some wet ground to Pavey Ark. Next after a bit of a scramble over the boulders and stones was Harrison Stickle with some great views over Stickle Tarn and Langdale.
From Harrison Stickle I took the lesser used path to the west and descended towards Dungeon Ghyll and then up and onto Loft Crag, making sure that I hit all of what I thought were its summits. I'd managed to walk straight past Loft Crag last year
Hence the reason for this walk!
I skirted to the south east of Harrison Stickle and stopped and had my lunch beside Stickle Tarn.
After some fuel it was the relatively easy walk up to Blea Rigg and then just over a mile down to Silver How.
Again some technical issues are preventing me posting pictures, I'm hoping to get some up soon though.
