An epic lake district walk, starting at Mungrisdale and covering five wainwright's; Souther fell, Blencathra, Mungrisdale common, Bannerdale crags and Bowscale fell.
The walk is 10.7 miles long and has 3200 feet of ascent.
The terrain is very varied on this walk and therefore walking poles are invaluable and fully waterproof footwear is essential.
The walk bypasses sharp edge but if the weather is kind and the group is strong, there may be an option to ascend via sharp edge. For those less adventurous, there will always be an option to bypass it.
There are two main parking areas; In front of Mungrisdale village hall and just before the village hall on a layby on the left hand side of the road. There are honesty boxes located at each and the suggested cost is £2. Car sharing is highly recommended as parking will be at a premium.
