13 September - Mungrisdale Round - Moderate/Strenuous

A circular walk starting from the riverside highway verge just north of High Beckside before Mungrisdale Vilage Hall. The walk bags two Wainwrights ( Bowscale Fell and Bannerdale Crags) on good paths or well trodden tracks. The initial climb to Bowscale Fell up the east ridge is a rough steep stony track through gorse and bracken. The ridge walk between Bowscale Fell and Bannerdale Crags can be marshy/swampy but easily skirted. From Bannerdale Crags the walk makes it way to the head of the Glenderamackin Valley and then follows a good path down river to a footbridge. The walk then climbs up Souther Fell but stops just short of the fell top in order to take an easier path off the fell and back to the starting point. A decision will be taken on the day whether or not to make a small detour to bag Souther Fell.
