The route was quite straightforward. Follow the path up to Wet side edge , over Little Carrs to the summit of Great Carrs. Just as I got to the summit a mist descended and I could no longer see the route to Grey Friars.

Just below the summit is the memorial to the crew of a Halifax Bomber that crashed here in 1944. Very sad - all 8 crew died.
The mist lifter briefly and I could see my route across Fairfield to the summit of Grey Friars

The rouet back was pretty much the same as the way up
I got back to car around mid-day, had a breather and then set of to get to the top of Pike O blisco.....but failed - I couldn't find the correct path to the summit from Red Tarn. I later found out that the path marked on the OS map is incorrect - If I had carried on a bit further I should have met up with the path from Great Langdale and the path to the top should have been a right turn from there. Never mind ...this will be a walk for another day , taking in Cold Pike also which is the other side of Red Tarn.
A brilliant day. OS OL 6 - about 5 miles in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.
