I have, of course covered the ground from Goat's Hawse to Walna Scar pass many times. But the walk from the bottom of the Walna Scar track to Goat's Hawse via Seathwaite Tarn and Far Gill was new to me.

I have always thought of Wainwright as a bit of a wimp so I thought that I might manage it without a rope.

Jodie has a bit of back trouble (on the mend now) so she would be left at Fornside for the afternoon. The weather refused to clear up (damp but warm) so we had a slow lingering cup of tea before driving to the big laybay on the A591 at Shoulthwaite to start our walk.

A word of warning to anyone who wants to park at ODG on summer Sundays: we arrived at 0920 and just got parked. By 0930 the carpark was full and cars were having to turn round and head back down the valley to New Dungeon Ghyll.

In the event Angie, together with Jill, added six peaks although Jo and I ducked out of the last one.

Unfortunately after being asked by the Yahoo! Message Board for my password, the Chronicle never appeared!!!

We parked in grey conditons at Martindale Church and bumped into David Hall (OFC member) who had just finished his walk having started at 06.30!

The first was from Chapel Bridge in Newlands.

Polly has climbed Sharp Edge before but never descended it so, as conditions were superb today, I decided we would climb the mountain by Halls Fell ridge and descend by Sharp Edge to see if Polly was going to be fine.
