A superb circular of Skiddaw's eastern tops, the cloud obviously finally lifting as I was descending. Lonscale Fell & Pike, Jenkin Hill, Lesser Man, Little Man, Sale How and return via Skiddaw House and the excellent Cumbria Way. Finished off with a run up to Latrigg-pound for pound the best WW to date, for the effort required vs reward..Alfa1M21/11/2023

Fairly substantial circular walk of 19km with ~800m of elevation gain starting from the Latrigg/ Underskiddaw car park with Sasha. A failed attempt to do Skiddaw in low cloud and all round foul weather conditions. Ascent via the North/ East face and looping round the back via Skiddaw House and the Cumbria Way with a reconciliatory ascent of Latrigg.hjb6803/09/2020
