Continuation from Outerside via High Moss and return same way the retraced steps to Braithwaite. Frozen ground and cold up high but good visibility below clouds skirting top of Skiddaw and ill Crag. With NPkenmorti11/01/2024
continued with K, dropping to pick up obvious paths (obvious in clear sunshine) direct to the ridge which is a short knobbly ridge with views of multiple ridges, higher and lower and a stunning look back along Scar Crags. Returned to High Moss, opting to follow slight grassy traverse to Low Moss and regaining the grassy track to the village. (Barrow Door return also an option but a stonier path involving some minimal extra descent and reascent). A great, short day outniallp11/01/2024
