With Izzy and Margo. From Souther Fell South Top. Very easy to my 164th Wainwright - only 50 to go. Also my last of the 24 Northern Fells. Down into Mungrisdale but the Mill Inn was sadly closed.James McKnight04/11/2023
From Mungrisdale £2 car park with DW,Ds10 and DD9. Route one from the right turn at the gate on the cycle way up through trodden bracken and then faint sheep tracks. Both (several) tops done. Weather super nice after a mizzy month. Return down the nose which was a bit tough on wet rock on the steep bits. No spectral army, but nice to see a juvenile hedgehog on the way down. Sadly no bacon sarniy left to treat it.nukeboy108/10/2023
