Blencathra, also famously known as "The Saddleback" is an impressive mountain in the northern Lake District. Due to offering many different routes to suit walkers of all abilities and having a commanding presence on the landscape, Blencathra is a very popular walking destination. PLEASE HEAD TO www.moorstomountains.co.uk to book your space on this exciting mountain walk. Limited places are available for £30.00 per person. My route for this outing avoids the more "hands on" areas of the mountain and utilises good, safe paths throughout. We will begin the walk from the little hamlet of Scales by the White Horse pub. The climb leads us up Scales Fell, which is a steep but gradual ascent up to the summit of Blencathra, Halls Fell Top. As we reach higher elevation, views across the whole of the northern Lake District open up nicely, weather permitting, and the terrain becomes more mountainous. There are several other approaches to Blencathra, including Halls Fell Ridge, Gategill Fell and Sharp Edge - while we won't be tackling any of these more technical routes, it should be possible to observe the dramatic landscape and view other walkers scrambling across Sharp Edge. From Blencathra, we will head across to a neighbouring summit, Bannerdale Crags. This is quite an easy traverse and will allow for a totally different perspective of the area, including a view over to Souther Fell that is reportedly haunted by a ghostly army of Jacobite soldiers. As far as Lakeland routes are concerned, this is neither a difficult or technical walk. However, a reasonable level of hill fitness is required to take part. There are steep sections to tackle and almost eight hundred metres of ascent involved. #walking #hiking #guidedwalks #walkguide #walkleader #mountainleader #blencathra #bannerdalecrags
