Start point - meet outside Mungrisdale Village Hall/Parish rooms at 10:30am. (Outdoor Leisure NE area - 364303)
From there we will walk a few hundred metres up the road to pick up the footpath that follows the River Glenderamackin around the base of Bannerdale Crags. Crossing the footbridge we'll start to climb up Scales Fell to the cairn on the top of Blencathra. If the weather is suitable, there will be an optional diversion to the top via Sharp Edge. (Please note that this will not be led by a Ramblers member - so at your own risk unless a Rambler wants to volunteer on the day!)
From the top we'll head back down via Atkinson Pike, picking up the path down to Mungrisdale. We'll then head back down the footpath back down the River Glenderamackin past a disused lead mine and back to Mungrisdale.
