I don't really feel 'qualified' to be posting here... but as a BG novice I could really do with some advice!

I've reccied the whole round a couple of times now, and I think I've got my route choices fairly sorted, except for coming off Great Calva

I initially tried East down the fence line (fence on my left) last year, crossed Wiley Gill and had an awful time ploughing through boggy ground trying to get to & across the river Caldew.

Since then I've make a couple of attempts to come down the South ridge path (fast), then break SE (slow - deep heather) and cross the Caldew further upstream, just North of a sheepfold. Stay on the same bearing brings you out at the zig-zags near Blencathra:

Is there a better way? I've heard people talk about East down the fence, but keeping it on your right for easier running? How do you get to the Caldew?

Many thanks!
