Date walked: 17/04/2024
Time taken: 5.15 hours
Distance: 18.25km
Ascent: 890m
Drive down and stayed in the fantastic hostel at borrowdale. Up early breakfast, and away and drove up and parked at mungrisdale, away over the wee bridge ,hang a left and up to the gate. Through this, hang a right and stayed on the wee path upto the ridge.
It was very windy and the wind chill affected my hands- freezing fingers.
From here could see across to Bowscale fell and the ridge leading off it and down
Quick stop at the windshelter and cairn for a look back to Blencartha and then head off on the descent
.
From here, a gradual descent, but then it got steeper as you descended into the gorse.
Steep path through it, and I can imagine it would be a bit tricky/ care required when wet.
Met an elderly lady here and her wee poodle who told me she was going up to do Suilven this week wuth a guide( her siblings were adamant she done it with a guide.)
She'd been up years ago herself - and if you read this , I hope you have a fantastic day and get the view .
We stop in here for a coffee at the end, fantastic Inn, great staff, walker friendly.
Great day; another one, in the Lake district.
