Description:
This is the short easy way up Blencathra without walking along Sharp Edge.
The route involves walking North West up Blease Fell (804m) then onto Blencathra (868m) descent via the same route. In good weather there are superb views across the Lake District, North towards Carlisle and East towards the Pennines.
Total ascent about 600m.
Leader: Malcolm. If you would like to come on this walk please let me know by 6pm on Saturday 22nd February 2020. Text or email is best due to poor mobile reception at home. Contact: 07918 652 802 oakwoodm@mail.com
Although it is a short walk we will ascend to the summit of Blencathra so sensible, warm clothing will be required.
