Description
Parked Old Dungeon Ghyll. Walked to Stool end farm, then to Red Tarn via Oxendale then north west to Crinkle Crags, continued north to Three Tarn, then on to the summit of Bow Fell, from there north then north west to Ore Gap where i picked up the path that goes round Angle Tarn and followed it to the Cumbria Way which i followed east back to Old Dungeon Ghyll.
Today i practiced pacing and timing which helped me locate the path at Ore Gap.

Area : Southern Fells (Scafell Pike)
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.
