Sun 10 June - Red Screes/Fairfield
Start Point: Roadside parking beside the River Rothay / Rothay Park, Ambleside G.R. NY 371044 @ 09.30

We then turn onto the FP to climb the ridge that crosses Snarker Pike & continues on to Red Screes. Following the wall NW we'll cross Scandale Pass &, after a wire fence, reach Scandale Tarn. We can possibly make a slight detour here, on the RHS, to the summit of Little Hart Crag for good views of Dovedale (N) & Scandale (S). After crossing the boggy Bakestones Moss we then climb (200m'ish) onto Dove Crag (which is part of the Fairfield Horseshoe) & accross to the NE is the Priest's Hole Cave (if visibility is OK!). Next we follow the ridge over Hart Crag & onto Fairfield itself, before descending S over Great Rigg, Rydal Fell, Heron Pike then Nab Scar. Then it's just down past Rydal Mount, turning E past Rydal Hall & following the FP to pop out on the A591 by Scandale bridge. After turning L it's only ½ a mile or so back into Ambleside.
