recce'd the top end of the route yesterday
fantastic - SO looking forward to this now

why has nobody ever mentioned the descent from Dalehead to the tarn? - my single favourite sort of underfoot - what I call a "Tetris" path - one of those roughly made steppy jobbies where you can just fall down, so long as you keep looking 1 or 2 steps ahead
no doubt some purist will come on droning on about a secret grassy line, but I LIKE these paths
