Meet time: 09:00 – 09:15
Walk start: 09:30
Start point: Kentmere Church (grid ref NY 456 041) **
Distance: Approx. 12.5 miles
Time: Approx. 6.5-7 hours
Grade: 4
High point: 828m @ High St.
Leader: Alastair (07584 300306)
Description: Briefly the walk will take in: Buck Crag - Yoke - Ill Bell – Froswick – Thornthwaite Crag - High St - Mardale Ill Bell - Nan Bield Pass - Harter Fell - Kentmere Pike - Rough Crags - Wray Crag
If the weather (i.e. high winds) denies us this option, the alternative is to walk up to Kentmere reservoir along the valley, up to Nan Bield Pass, onto Harter Fell & down into Longsleddale at Gatesgarth pass before returning to Kentmere via Sadgill.
Please note that if the tops are in winter conditions, an ice axe & crampons will be necessary.
A head-torch will also be required in case we get delayed. Sunset is approximately 16:50 so we should be down in plenty of time but best to be prepared!
**Depending on who/how many are attending I may arrange to meet just Staveley and drive up to the start in as few cars as possible, due to limited parking in Kentmere.
In this case it would be 09:00 at the parking just past Barley Bridge (approx. SD 469 987). I will arrange this directly with those attending if necessary.
