Sharp Edge

View as large as you can to see the scale of people on the ridge

Another day walking - though after 60+ miles in the past 8 days, the knees are ready for a rest. Today we managed Bowscale Fell, Mungrisedale Common (extra), and Souther Fell.

Mungrisedale Common is universally acclaimed as the most boring of the Wainwright summits, even AW himself decried it in his books as being "only of passing interest to a sheep, and of no interest whatsoever to a walker." Typically a total quagmire, the dry weather we've had for the past couple of weeks made it no more than a bit "squidgy"  As you can see from the extra, it doesn't have so much as a summit, more of a "flat" - and the weather made it look far more interesting than usual! Fortunately over the past few years people have created a cairn pretty well on the summit grid point, avoiding countless walkers wandering about aimlessly looking for a summit point. 

The lighting, not frankly the landscape didn't lend itself to landscapes of the fells walked, but I did rather like the view of Sharp Edge on Blencathra, and the hoards of walkers who descend on it over a weekend, particularly when the conditions are so perfect - dry and windless.

Bowscale Fell: 166/214
Mungrisedale Common: 167/214
Souther Fell: 168/214
