Blencathra via Sharp Edge
Distance: 8.83km
Ascent: 765m
Duration: 5 Hours 15 Minutes
Today we were in the Lake District aiming to tick off a couple of the Trail 100 peaks for Nick. We chose two mountain routes that I knew he would love - Blencathra via Sharp Edge and Halls Fell Ridge and tomorrow Helvellyn via Striding Edge!
Beginning the steep ascent with views to Great Mell Fell.
