Route: leaving the car in the car park on Blease Road, Threlkeld, and taking the green track diverting from the road uphill along the beck (Blease Gill). At a gate, continuing straight steeply uphill until the wall on the right turned right. Then heading on a small path through bracken to the obvious boulder of Knott Halloo and then along the ridge and uphill again to reach the main Blencathra ridge. Turing right to reach the summit and then backtracking to descend Blease Fell on the engineered switchbacks and then a delightfully grassy path back to the outward route.
Conditions: the forecast sun present except for 45 minutes of cold wind and cloud on the higher fell.
Pub: the Horse and Farrier, Threlkeld, for Jennings Sneck Lifter in warm (nay, hot!) sun.
