Mosedale Saturday Greendale Sunday - Photo Gallery

Staying at Wastwater Youth Hostel with friends, we left a car at Overbeck Bridge and then drove to Wasdale Head. We took the direct route up the front of Kirk Fell, it was warm work up the steep slope to the summit. After the interesting descent to Black Sail Pass we took the High Level Route to the summit of Pillar, then down to Wind Gap, over Black Crag, and up to Scoat Fell. We made the short detour to Steeple before taking a direct route to Red Pike, down to Dore Head before going up and over Yewbarrow back to the car left at Overbeck bridge. It was a long walk on an unusually warm April day, so Sunday was less energetic; we parked at Greendale and walked down the road to the secret entrance of the path to the summit of Buckbarrow, followed the ridge to Glade How and onto Cat Bields where we met Joss Naylor and one of his dogs. Then up the long ridge to the summit of Seatallan, before descending enough to cross the swamp above Greendale Tarn in order to climb Middle Fell and descend back to Greendale.
