I think you'll probably find something around stake pass just after Raise.
If Coniston's anything to go by, there's been water exactly where you want it for the last 6 weeks. Just tilt your head back and open your mouth.
theres water everywhere at the moment
Here's the location: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X...5185&A=Y&Z=115
What on earth was there a leat up there for?
Worth knowing about for BG attempts - I'll add it to the site tonight. It's about 40metres down from the ridge so a bit of a drop.
According to an Old Cumbrian Gazetteer:On the western side of the mountain [Helvellyn], about the distance of three hundred yards from its summit, and three hundred perpendicular feet below it, there is a spring called Brownrigg Well, where the water issues in all seasons in a copious stream; its temperature in the summer months being generally from 40° to 42°: and when mixed with a little brandy, as recommended by 'mine host' of the Nag's Head, it makes a grateful beverage
