Route: leaving the car at the Scalehill Bridge NT car park and taking woodland paths to Crummockwater past the pumphouse. Slightly confused by paths on the marshy ground, eventually taking a path after the ruined peel tower to cross the valley to High Park. Here finding a path left through a gate to reach a track climbing a little and then turning right with a wall to the right and following this round the end of Mellbreak under Raven Crag. Joining the obvious path up the hill on scree zigzagging eventually to reach the ridge and thence the top. Striding along the wide and marshy top to reach the further summit with cloudy views over Buttermere. Descending eventually to a fence (an earlier right turn would have been better) and turning right to meet the path that circuits Mellbreak. Following this, very marshy in places, to descend into Mosedale and then the Kirkstile Inn. After a pint, walking the 1km back to the car.
Conditions: much cooler than the previous day with cloud and less clear air.
Pub: The Kirkstile Inn for Cumbrian Legendary Ales Loweswater Gold. (A first sighting of American Invasion but sadly just as it was going off.)
