Overview

Having failed in February to do the skyline we're trying again. The weather can't be as bad, can it?

First along the side of Buttermere and then with a change from February, up Fleetwith Pike. Then across to Haystacks, down to Scarth Gap and back up to High Crag. A dash across High Stile to Red Pike then down Lingcombe Edge to Scale Force. Then finally back to libations in Buttermere
