Souther Fell

Over 6 months since did this walk and only just got round to writing it up. A wet day, we started in Mungrisdale and walked up the Gledermakin through very boggy terrain with Bannerdale Crags on our left and our target for the day Souther Fell on our right enshrouded in mist.
Once at the head of the valley we climbed the diagonal path to the top of Mousthwaite Comb and started the delightful small ridge along the summit of Souther Fell. The mist swirled around Bannerdale Crags giving an almost Alpine feel to the steep rocks opposite
Descended directly down toward Mungrisedale but no path direct to the village so decided to contour right and cross a field (probably not public access) to the road

Time 2hrs 30mns
