The Southern Fells Include Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England, occupy a broad area to the south of Great Langdale, Borrowdale and Wasdale. High and rocky towards the centre of the Lake District, the Southern Fells progressively take on a moorland character toward the south west. In the south east are the well known Furness Fells, their heavily quarried flanks rising above Coniston Water.
Day spent with novice friend attempting to give a primer in mountain navigation. Walked up to Codale Tarn (via Easedale Tarn) from Grassmere using a format & location shamelessly stolen from a more experienced friend. Focused mainly on compass bearings and relating the map the the land. This included anticipating the route and terrain, using handrails, tick-features and catching features; timing and pacing and relocation.
