A day off and I am back in Wasdale with KA. We ride from the National Trust car park to Greendale, stash bikes, and then set off up Seatallan. It's a glorious day, not too hot, near perfect running conditions. Then down into Pots of Ashes and the incorrect route, as shown on my face map !!, to point 704m, between Haycock and Scoat Fell.
Then a traverse of Black Crag and the short steep climb to Pillar, always a great summit to be on. A good descent on grassy lines to Black Sail Pass and then the traverse below Kirk Fell, this was hard work. The climb up Gable is even tougher and then down to Styhead. Time and energy are against us, so we decide on the Corridor Route to take us to the col between Scafell Pike and Lingmell.
Then it's just the killer descent down the nose of Lingmell to the finish. We grab a quick shower and then head to pub in Nether Wasdale for some much needed bait. A good day out.
