    The Route,
    I hope it is good for all to all not easy trying to do all this sorting
    Start at Scales go out towards Mousthwaite Comb, head up as if going towards sharp edge, at scales beck cross over river Glenderamackin to take path up to Disused lead mine, just after stream head NE to reach top of Bannerdale Crags.
    from here follow trod round valley head to The Tongue then we will aim for the 3 piles of stones on Bowscale Fell traversing east of Tarn Crags at the last pile head south to pick up the track towards Mungrisdale at Mungrisdale south again to find a way up Souther Fell across the top of this fell back to Mousthwaite Combe and return to Scales.
    i have picked this route this year for a few reasons, not to high, but enough up and down bits to earn beer! it's an area that most won't make an effort to go to, it has surprisingly good views we can drop off in case of trouble at a few points, not to far but not to short.
    Hope you like it! i can see your maps coming out now!!
    Any ideas comments, stick them up your arse i am organising this, you would not ask Wynn to change anni waltz so don't ask me

    Route looks interesting and after all the walk/run/jog is only there to keep us out of trouble until the serious part of the 'recce' starts i.e. guzzling plenty of fine Lakeland ale, eating curry and trying to keep up with SteveS on the dancefloor

    Ohhhhhhh...

    I need to start making up my mind if I want to come streight back from Nepal after Everest Marathon, so I can do this, or if I want to stay on and go and see some friends in South India and come back at the end of the year...

    If I do make it this year, I will stay at least long enough to see SteveS dance
