04 - Walk first completed - with Paul Drury. We started the
walk from the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel and
proceeded via The Band,
Bowfell and Ore
Gap. The cloud never lifted all day, we had no decent views from anywhere
and the general quality of the photographs turned out to be poor. From Esk
Pike we wandered down towards Esk Hause with the mist still thick around us
and rather embarrassingly and stupidly we lost our way and found ourselves
somewhere north of Sprinkling Tarn when we had intended to head for
Rossett Gill. We were grateful for the able and knowledgeable woman who
pointed us in the right direction. I was still not entirely convinced
where we were until Angle Tarn appeared through the mist. There was little
light left when we reached the foot of Rossett Gill and we were in total
darkness by the time we got back to the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel. An
unforgettable walk, mostly for the wrong reasons. But it could
have been worse. |
