If the weather is half-decent in the next week or so I plan to have a look at the route... can anyone pass a few hints and tips on routes, please.

1. Getting onto GREAT BOURNE. Is it an obvious path?

2. Do you go over Starling Dodd to get to RED PIKE, if not, skirt north or south?

3. Again, to get to BLACKBECK TARN; over tops or easier to skirt around?

4. How easy is the trod from GREEN GABLE below Great Gable to find and traverse?

5. Coming off KIRK FELL, is there an obvious route, and is it as horrendous as it looks on the map?

6. IRON CRAG to CRAG FELL, and CRAG FELL to finish, I guess one follows the wall for the former, but for the latter, what is the route through? I can see no path. Do you drop off Crag Fell down Ben Gill?

Many thanks for anyone who can take the time to answer any/all of these.
