Four Wainwrights

Another good day for walking in the lakes. Again car was left at the camp site. First Hill was Causey Pike, but before that we had a nice walk in following the Newlands Beck to the base of Rowling end. It look like the path had been washed away when the floods came a few years back. Lot of work have been done to the banks and path.  Plenty of wildlife along this river route.

We then had a stiff climb up onto Rowling hill and then along the ridge to Causey Paike. We then carried onto Sail  before turn east to head down the path to Climb Outerside and Barrow. The path down was poor.

Grisedale Pike and Hopegill Head

Bank Holiday weekend took us to Braithwaite, where we enjoyed few days camping. One of the walks we did was up to Grisedale Pike and onto Hopegill Head.  we took the path from the back of Braithwaite to head up to Steet How. Path was steep first and then it levels out before the last uphill to Grisedale. We had fine view from the top with wall to wall blue sky.

We then carried on the short distance to Hopegill  Head before turning south to Sand Hill.  Then we turned east to take the good path back down to the track which was part of the old mine.
