Blencathra via Hall's Fell

Distance: 6.7 miles
Wainwrights: Blencathra

I went for this walk yesterday with Hayley. We wanted somewhere that was fairly close to us, so we didn't have to drive for too long. I chose not to go up the Sharp Edge route, but still chose Hall's Fell ascent. I found it easy but it was harder than I expected.

We had a really good day and both enjoyed some of the easy scrambling up Hall's Fell Ridge.

I've been saving this mountain for a special day but decided it fitted the bill for what we wanted. I will save the Sharp Edge route for another time though :-)

I didn't take many pictures unfortunately but here's a couple...
