Then down to Patterdale for the bus home I.M.O. that gives a perfectly satisfying Bimble on some of the best, quietest fells in this area.

That's quite a run out too.... i did something vaguely similar starting from Martindale Church when i was completing my Wainwrights list. I recall only seeing one person (on the section from Beda Fell to AngleTarn Pikes), and the out-and-back to The Nab seemed particularly sapping.

Talking of perfection, i recently ran the high level part of the Hodgson Brothers Relay route, and that was absolutely fantastic. Roughly comparable to Borrowdale in terms of stats, but a far superior route (in my opinion)
