We set out behind the pub in a NW  direction along the Cumbrian way along Mickleden, branching W up Rosset Gill 600mts to Angle Tarn, carrying on NW reaching Sprinkling Tarn 600mts on to Sty Head 496mts at the foot of Great Gable of which we ascend the SW ridge for 400mts to gain the summit at 899mts.

After taking in the magnificent views we head NE  to Windy Gap 750mts then a short ascent of 50mts to gain Green Gables' summit. We leave the top to descend Aaron Slack to Sty Head Tarn 450mts. Then retrace our route past Sprinkling Tarn, Angle Tarn and back down Rosset Gill to the ODG. for well earned refreshments.

If anybody would like to come along and not do the whole walk you can. While we go up Great gable you can wait at Sty Head tarn.

Don't forget to take plenty of water and sun screen! And hat and gloves.
