We had planned a day at the seaside today. As the weather forecast was so good I got up at 6.00 for an early walk before we set off for St Bees.
Up the miners track as far as Outerside. Then take the path (not on the map) up to the ridge between Causey Pike and Scar Crags. Along the ridge to Scar Crags, which has a surprising flat summit plateau. It is mornings like this which remind me why I do this. It was calm , sunny, I was the only person on the fell, and there was a spectacular panoramic views all around. Towards Derwent Water and the Skiddaw range there was a low mist with the peaks still visible. Hopefully some of the pictures do this justice.

From there follow the path down to Sail pass, and then up the zig zag path to the summit of Sail. As soon as I reached that summit I was confronted with the mass of Crag Hill…tantalising close. However, looking at the steepness of the climb, with possibly some scrambling, I decided to decline, as I had promised Anne I would be back at the cottage for 10.00 AM . So just a picture of Crag Hill today…I’ll be back another day to do that one.
