Re: Skiddaw to Great Calva
Yes its the way I always go, its very runnable after the swampy patch ;)
My navigator on my BG went that way as well and he's been supporting BGs for 20+ years :)
Re: Skiddaw to Great Calva
if you want to keep your feet dry, you could always do like me and Irish Carol did on our recce, when we completely missed the Hare Crag ridge in the clag and ended up down at Whitewater Dash! :o
from there tis but a short jog back along the main path to Dead Beck. and I don't think we actually lost that much time (he says, desperately trying to justify his appalling navigational skills :D )

It was at night and misty but there's still no excuse
Re: Skiddaw to Great Calva
I was shocked by how the path over Hare Crag has turned into a mushy motorway. I looked at it once in May last year and there was little obvious over the top. Last week it was unmissable and very cut up.
A clear path is also appearing on the upper section of Clough Head again this has cut over the last over the last few months.
