NY1510105411 From the road junction, take the road signposted towards Gosforth

NY1443805594 Turn right at Greendale (a very good place for yellowhammers, incidentally) and head up the obvious path by the stream.

NY1429206112 Don't get into the stream bed itself, but head up the broad ridge to Middle Fell. The views get better and better with height. Amble anticlockwise round the skyline circling Greendale Tarn, to Seatallan.

NY1396808400 From Seatallan, there's a surprisingly long and steep drop to the northeast, to the col of "Pots of Ashness". You can ponder what the quality of ashness might be, and how one might pot it, on the steep climb to Haycock. Difficulties can generally be turned on the left.

NY1447910708 The wall heading east-north-east is now your guide to Scoat Fell. The option is presented of a quick out-and-back to Steeple if you want to add a seventh Wainwright to your day's tally.

NY1611011400 Head south on the dramatic escarpment over Red Pike (the Wasdale one, obviously) and descend to the col of Dore Head.

NY1750809510 Scramble sportingly up the rocks of Stirrup Crag to reach the gorgeous crest of Yewbarrow. The Scafells look utterly sensational from here.

NY1757609133 The traverse of the ridge is not too difficult; I've never found Great Door a significant obstacle. Just make sure you don't go straight on over the nose of Bell Rib without a wingsuit or a jetpack.Instead, veer right down scree and awkward little rock-steps, then contour back onto the bracken-covered nose of the fell to descend to Overbeck Bridge.

NY1680506810 The way back is along the road but you absolutely will not mind a bit of tarmac if you have a clear day. Trust me.
