Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Is that right NE? I thought it was just night closures at present and all open then until early October. ?

Well, I must admit I haven't checked personally of late, this was info from a friend who is usually pretty spot on with her information. If what you say is correct then I apologise unreservedly.

Seems work on the road is suspended from 15th Jul until end Aug, and it’s open. Although may have some traffic lights.

Yeah, nice perspective. Certainly one I could get in to if I lived a little closer!

Just back from a couple of days up there myself. Mosedale Horseshoe for me with a few outliers to add in. Went straight up the front of Kirk Fell out of Wasdale. Kinda enjoyed that, Wainwright over-egged how bad that climb is. Proper crapped myself on the climb up from Dore Head to Stirrup Crag / Yewbarrow though. I should really read all the books I have before I go out on these walks (/scrambles)!

Forecast was very poor yesterday and I couldn’t get out early so just did the walk up Troutbeck Tongue. I’m not sure that I’ve enjoyed a couple of hours more than that for ages. Such a lovely little walk.

WW. I felt the same about the stirrup crag route. Not helped by just not knowing if you were on the right path or not. Survived but promised myself I need never do that again.

Troutbeck tongue is a great view point. So many good walks from Troutbeck.
