Who can tell me whereabouts the parachute starts? Not some daffy duck thing either, the actual parachute on Blencathra. I heard it was just down a bit from some cairn...8 digit GR would be nice.

Can't tell you first-hand, but have a look through the 'Bob Graham route choices' thread in the BG section. I'm sure I've read about it in detail in that thread.

Parachute: you don't start down Halls but head west from the summit for about 50 metres maybe a bit more then drop down following a steep grass slope next to scree. You head for a gully way down and right, cross this on to Middle Tongue then make a descending traverse across this to drop in to the gully on the far side. Follow this down to where the two becks meet, cross back to the Halls Fell side and follow the beck out to the fell gate crossing back over about halfway down. Did it once (following Bilbo's directions) and found it hard work.

There's an alternative that starts down the Parachute then cuts back right to join Halls Fell below the rocky bit. Never done this though.

Something like this?
