Northern Exile Jul 2019 9:53pm, 13 Jul 2019 5,220 posts	0 Northern Exile I also was in very lonely territory today, did a complete round of the Shap Fells and didn't see a soul. Saw lots of red deer and an adder sunning himself. Tough day out, off-piste all the way.
FenlandRunner Jul 2019 9:55pm, 13 Jul 2019 2,221 posts	0 FenlandRunner That sounds fabulous NE. Just the sort of day of my dreams.
Rosehip Jul 2019 9:55pm, 13 Jul 2019 13,073 posts	0 Rosehip Sounds lovely -even if tough
Velociraptor Jul 2019 9:57pm, 13 Jul 2019 42,289 posts	0 Velociraptor Everybugger was on Catbells. But we expected that.
zp Jul 2019 7:00am, 14 Jul 2019 469 posts	0 zp I ran Lakes Sky Ultra yesterday Fab route, wee bit busy coming down Swirral Edge though. Thinking a lazy day today, might pop out on a boat
Northern Exile Jul 2019 8:40am, 14 Jul 2019 5,221 posts	0 Northern Exile Might have seen you then Pete, we were camped at Mardale Head until midday. Did you enjoy the route? I was out and about in the High Street area on Friday and saw the route markers being put out.
zp Jul 2019 8:58am, 14 Jul 2019 470 posts	0 zp Yeah, I loved it - most of it was totally new to me, so good to see some different bits of the Lakes. Perhaps less technical than I was expecting
zp Jul 2019 8:59am, 14 Jul 2019 471 posts	0 zp .. but loved it anyway. Tough though, those last few climbs after Helvellyn broke me. Definitely be back next year
Rosehip Jul 2019 9:39am, 14 Jul 2019 13,075 posts	0 Rosehip looks amazing! am I right in thinking they took the really technical bits out, multiplied them and turned them into a different race//route?
Rosehip Jul 2019 9:41am, 14 Jul 2019 13,076 posts	0 Rosehip ah, no I'm not - misunderstood a twitter post now I've checked the website

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
