Dave A May 2017 7:40am, 17 May 2017 21,637 posts	Quote Pin Dave A So apart from legs 1, 2, 3 and the climb up Yewbastard it's a good route?

Dave A May 2017 8:28am, 17 May 2017 21,638 posts	Quote Pin Dave A Here's an idea for a new version of it. Start at the top of Blencathra. Descend to Scafell, then descend off Scafell to Yewbarrow summit. Leg 4 to Grey Knotts, descend directly to Dale Head then do the last couple of peaks before finishing with a descent to the Dog and Gun in the Newlands Valley.

Velociraptor May 2017 9:25am, 17 May 2017 36,202 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor Is it wrong that I thought it not at all surprising that a Bob Graham completer might rather enjoy a skidded descent? Gromit, d'you want company for your on-the-ground look at Leg 1? I'd be well up for doing that.
