DT, I'm sure we all have our own favourites. Approaching Blencathra from Mungrisedale Common is uninspiring. Great Gable is a fine mountain, maybe #11?

Approaching past Mungrisedale Common with a couple or three pals not long before dark on a Friday evening is great especially if you’ve got getting on for a further peaks to go and the weathers good ;-)

Blencathra and Barrow are my favourites so far I think
many more to discover though :)

Binsey is the target for next time mum is with me.

Wondering where to aim for my free time to walk on Easter Saturday (haven't booked campsite yet either, should do that really!)

I will be honest it was thick fog when I ascended Binsey, no views at all.

Grisedale - now that's an idea, weather permitting :)

Does anyone know if I can take the do on the 77 (A) to Honister from Keswick? - I can't make any sense of the bus website!
