Route: leaving the car in the Hartsop car park (still spaces at 10am but full shortly after) and following a footpath sign a little further back into the village to gain the hillside. Then climbing across tussocky grass and bracken to reach the start of a lengthy substantial diagonal path north east to climb onto a marshy plateau and reach the Coast to Coast path under Satura Crag. Following this towards Angle Tarn (where Janet turned back) and circuiting the tarn anti-clockwise, across very wet and marshy land to climb onto Cat Crags and then reach the cairn at Brock Crags. Continuing the circuit round to reach the outward path and turning back the same way.
Conditions: a still, cloudy autumnal day with a uniform cloud base of 2,500ft.
Pub: the Brotherswater Inn for Barngates Brathay Gold.
