Lonscale fell

Spring has arrived! We started this pleasant walk from the car park between Latrigg and Skidaw and set off up the Skiddaw motorway taking the second exit to reach our summit. The first exit from the motorway was the Cumbrian Way, our intended return route, the second exit, , was keeping to the path heading along above the left flank of Whit beck, following the wall as the pain path veered right. This led to the broad saddle between Lonscale fell and Little Man. Deep bright blue skies were above us and few people around, a perfect walk to get half way in our mission to complete all the Wainwrights. After lingering for lunch at the col, the slight breeze became a little chilly we continued right along the fence and broken wall were soon on the summit admiring the clear views across the whole of the lake district fells. A paraglider gracefully swung back and to above us. The descent was along the top of Lonscale Crags. A short detour to look over into Glenderaterra Beck was well worth while with stunning views of the softer side of Blencathra. Out of the wind on the descent the warmth of the early spring sunshine beckoned a rest sitting on the moorland admiring the vista. It took no time to reach the Cumbrian Way and head back to the car park. Time 2hrs 30ms Grade Excellent Memories
