Route Information
Some classic Lake District scrambling on Striding Edge, and then hopefully some incredible views to the west on Helvellyn, and to the south on Fairfield. The descent should be free of scrambling.
Lakes: Grisedale Tarn, Ullswater (technically a reservoir).
Start in Glenridding. Beware of the Kirkstone Pass: it gets up to 1:4, or 25%!
