Sunny synging in July. Parked on grass in Mungrisdale. Then footpath damaged by floods so river crossing required to ascend via The Tongue, then Bowscale Fell, then detour to Tarn Crags Top and Bowscale Fell Far East Top before returning to Bowscale Fell. Continue on to Bannerdale Crags. Then down White Horse Bent before obvious route to Souther Fell South Top and finally Souther Fell before return to Mungrisdale via the Mill Inn.Dugswell217/07/2017
