Middle Fell, Seatallan and Buckbarrow

It had been a while since we had visited the Wasdale area. We stopped for our now regulation pre walk coffee at the bakery in Broughton on the way (highly recommended). The route for this walk was to start up the Greendale path, then veer off up the path to Middle Fell. the tracks were easy to follow and no problems encountered. The weather was warm and dry but very hazy looking over to the Wastwater Screes.
Dropping down off Middle Fell to the col between this and Seatallan we stopped for out lunch. The col was absolutely deserted, warm sunshine and great views. We spent some time here before starting the ascent of Seatallan head towards the Pots of Ashness col but before reaching this heading up the grassy slope to the north west ridge leading down from the summit. It was a bit of a slog up the grassy ridge but the summit was soon attained.

Seatallan from Cat Bield

The next top, Buckbarrow, seem a long way off in the distance but was soon reached descending the gentle path down the slope from Seatallan via Cat Bields and Glade How. Good views again over Wastwater and across to the Scafells.
We dropped down off Buckbarrow following the path down to Gill Beck and then back along the road to Greendale.
