Sun 7th May - Haweswater Fells

Meet Time: 9.15am
Walk Start Time: 9.30pm
Start Point: Mardale Head NY469107
Car Parking: Small free car park at Mardale Head
Description: From the car park we begin with the ascent following the path past Small Water tarn to the Nan Bield pass. When we reach the cross roads of paths at the summit of the pass we head left toward the top of our first Wainwright, Harter Fell. From the cairn we head down towards Gatesgarth Pass then follow the boundary fence up to the top of our 2nd Wainwright, Branstree. From here we continue along the ridge, past Branstree Tarn, toward our final Wainwright - Selside Pike. We drop down from the summit via Selside End to intercept the Mosedale Old Corpse Road. This takes us back to the main road which we follow back to the car park.
Distance: 6-7  miles
Grade: Strenuous
Time: approx 5-6 hours.
Notes: If the conditions are bad I reserve the right to modify the route or cancel the walk. Length and time are approximates as I've not done this exact route before but have extended a walk that I've done a few times in the past.
Contact: Please let Tom know by 6 pm on Saturday if you are coming on this walk 07760 660113.
