After a recce of Leg 1 I managed all my predicted times except for the Blencathra Top. I passed North of the 'summit' of Mungrisdale then and hit the main path which climbs up to the scree on Blencathra. I think I went off to early and headed for the top of the gulley/summit. I lost a bit of height and ended up West of the summit on the ridge. What is the best route, do I stay on the path a bit longer and skirt below the scree area below Atkinson's pike?
Thanks!
