unable (and slighty put off by the shed) to make the scotland trip Jules and I went to Mardale and Swindale in the eatern fells of the lakes.
Excellent scrambling and deserted apart from the 10,000 twicthers in Mardale. Epic ascent of Blea Water Gill , getting stuck on the slab ! Later we climbed HopGill Beck and Rowantreerthwaite as a great combo, an hour from car back to car when parked at the bridge over the beck (near the corpse road Mardale). Highly reccomended in dry, very pretty and such easy access, great way to finish a day (or start a walk)
Sunday saw us in Swindale (after good food in the pub in Brampton on sat night and wild camping) walking past Gowther Crag in the sunshine and scrambling up the gill at the head of the valley. Another pretty place, deserted and great fun in the dry. Given Grade 2 we made it at least 3 by ading extra bits. Some unlikey traverses and waterfalls ! Get it done!
