A varied walk with a bit of scrambling in the Northern lakes.
Walk begins alongside the river for a gentle start, before beginning our ascent to Bannerdale crags, this goes past some mine workings and finishes with a scramble to the top. There are then great views as we walk along the top of the crags to the top of Bowscale Fell. We descend slightly to below the tarn and pick up a gentle track to the village of Bowscale before following the minor road back to Mungrisdale.
Start: 10 am at track in Mungrisdale by the phone box (NY 362304) If lane is full there is some parking earlier on road opposite community centre. Both ask for donations of £2.
Walk Length: About 7 miles
Time: 4-5 hours.
Grade: 2 (but scramble could make it grade 3)
Ascent: about 500m
Car Share: Kendal Morrisons 9.00 (leader won't be there)
Leader: Vicky 07835 416262
P.S. If you fancy a wild camp on the Saturday night at Bowscale Tarn please contact me too. Will probably only go ahead with decent weather forecast.
