15th March 2009 - Bowscale Fell, Bannerdale Crags and Souther Fell

Walk Details

Distance walked: 8.9 miles

Total ascent: 2287 ft

OS map used: OL5 - The English Lakes, North-eastern area

Time taken: 5.5 hrs

Route description: Mungrisdale-Bowscale-Bowscale Tarn-Bowscale Fell-Bannerdale Crags-Glendermackin Col-River Glendermackin-Mousthwaite Col-Souther Fell-Low Beckside-Mungrisdale

After setting out from Mungrisdale I walked along the road to the hamlet of Bowscale where I took the path to Bowscale Tarn. I then ascended the grassy rake from the tarn to the summit of Bowscale Fell. After visiting the summit I then made my way across to Bannerdale Crags. My route back was down to the Glendermackin Col and then the path beside the river to Mousthwaite Col from where I walked across Souther Fell and back to Mungrisdale.
