A walk to mark the publication of Cicerone's Western Fells Fellranger.
Route: From the main Grasmere carpark to take a path between the Red Pike ascent path and the stroll round the lake, climbing gently into Burtness Combe and then steeply gaining the summit of High Crag via Sheepbone Rake. Along the ridge to High Style, Red Pike and Starling Dodd. Then descending north west to reach the summit of Gale Fell and a rough pathless descent to Scale Force and back to Grasmere.
Conditions: Still, some sun, but cool out of the sun.
Pub: The Fish at Grasmere for Sneck Lifter and a seasonal Hesket Newmarket beer.
