Start: Car park in Threlkeld, NY318256 From the centre of Threlkeld village, head along Blease Road. The car park is on the right just before the road bends to the left - see map below.
Start Time: 1030 - Don't forget that British Summer Time starts today.

Route: We will ascend Hall's Fell ridge to the summit, then drop down to Scales Tarn for lunch. Return to the summit will be via Sharp Edge (Sharp Edge is an exposed Grade 1 scramble.
