Walk Description

Picture
With another fantastic weather day on the cards where better to spend it other than the Northern Fells of the Lake District - and the captivating mountain of Blencathra. This beautiful landscape sits above the A66 and can be accessed from various points along the road - it is a fantastic sight as motorists make their way to & from Keswick & Penrith. The fell has two contrasting flanks with the north & west being mainly of grassy slopes falling away into Skiddaw Forest whilst the south and east huge scoops have been cut out of the mountain to leave a series of ridges of varying sharpness separated by steep sided valleys. The only grassy breach of the fell's defences on this side is Scales Fell, which splits the rocky front into two isolated parts. The most familiar is the southern face, with the grassy slopes of Blease Fell and Scales Fell at each end and the rocky ridges of Gategill Fell, Hall's Fell and Doddick Fell in between. Around the corner behind Scales Fell is Sharp Edge, a knife-edge of rock that leads to Foule Crag and eventually to Atkinson Pike.

​Our route today would start from the A66 at Scales Green - there is plenty of verge parking either side of the A66 with additional parking at The White Horse Inn 200 yards up the road. Whilst the pub does not mind you using their Car Park, it would be nice to reciprocate their generosity by having a post walk drink in what is a very fine Lakeland Pub. We started off just before sunrise and headed across the south eastern flank of Scales Fell in the direction of Mousthwaite Comb where just as the gradient starts to increase the path forks with the right hand path continuing above Mousthwaite Comb to Sharp Edge whilst the left hand fork continues up Scales Fell - steeply at first however the gradient eases as the summit is gained. With the snow deep and soft in many places, even the slightest gradient was hard work today.

​From Scales Fell's summit it is a 
short and undulating transit to Doddick Fell from where a final push then gains Blencathra's summit ridge - a short walk south west leads to Hallsfell Top, the summit of the mountain. The weather we had today ensured we could enjoy a full Lakeland panorama from the top, not only the entire summit ridge but far and wide over the National Park, the Pennines and The Howgills. There are several options of descent from the summit - today we decided to do a quick out & back over to Gategill Fill and then head along the summit ridge to have a look down Sharp Edge. All along the entire summit ridge were snow cornices and walkers really do need to be aware of the dangers of transiting across what appears to be a safe passage which does unfortunately catch people out - in these conditions just stay away from the edge and you will be fine.

From above Sharp Edge we then climbed up on to Atkinson Pike to then drop down steeply over loose ground and deep snow to the path that leads over to Mungrisdale Common. Having decided to give Mungrisdale Common a miss today we made for the col below Bannerdale Crags to begin our descent back to Mousthwaite Comb alongside the River Glenderamackin. Ordinarily this is a pleasant stroll but the path was inconspicuous by its absence for much of the descent due to the deep snow and it was just a case of making our way down as best we could. Reaching the footbridge over the river it is a short climb up to the junction of paths above the comb below White Horse Bent & Souther Fell to join the steep path down into Mousthwaite Comb. The path was extremely icy and precarious - the microspikes did their job here.

The path continued to descend steeply to reach the road and it was now just a question of turning right and following the road down the hill to reach The White Horse where a short walk down alongside the A66 brought us back to the parking area. This was a superb day out on an iconic mountain in fantastic conditions but care still needed to be taken and whilst full winter kit was carried (Ice Axe, Crampons & Microspikes) only the latter were required today.

​This was as near to the cornice as I could safely go in order to capture this solitary walker on the summit - any further was on extremely dangerous ground.  Moral of the story is that if it doesn't look like solid ground then it probably isn't.
Picture
Heading for Gategill Fell - just look at all those fells.
Picture
Just a glorious day with hardly a soul about - sometimes it pays to drag yourself out of your scratcher nice & early!

From above Sharp Edge we made our way to Atkinson Pike - fresh snow therefore no footprints to follow.
