Sheffield Young Ramblers are staying in Borrowdale and we will be putting on a joint walk this coming Saturday.
Ascend Green Gable via Sourmilk gill. Double back on ourselves ¼ mile to bag Base Brown. Down and across the the imaginatively named Windy Gap, up Great Gable, back down to the stretcher box and down across Stockley bridge back to the cars.
For your visitors and anyone else with energy you have the option at the stretcher box to carry on upto great end and ScaFell Pike if you want to bag more peaks. I however will be going down to find a pub.
Parking is available on the grass alongside the road in Seathwaite Valley or a fiver in the honesty box in the farmers field.
(There are 2 in Cumbria you want the one which turns off the road to Honister Pass)
Meet time 9:00am at Seathwaite (turn off from the Honister rd) meet by the gate where road ends.
Start – 9:30am (once parking is sorted)
Accent – 810 m
Distance – 6 miles 10km
Time – 5 hours
Grade – moderate to strenuous regular members of the group will be fine
No real scrambles but scree on windy gap
If you are doing Great End and Sca Fell this will add 4 miles, 547m accent and an extra 3 hours to your walk
