Great Gable from Seathwaite
A more diverse day its hard imagine, with smiles all round and a new route record to boot. Whats more I got to try out my new over-trousers, sort of, and at least from a breath-ability perspective I am more than satisfied. Thanks Haglofs.

Green Gable from Honister
A very cold day today climbing Green Gable from Honister Pass. Our original target had been Great Gable but today's difficult conditions meant that we had to turn back at Green Gable.
From Honister Pass we climbed the steep slopes of Grey Knotts, the path today was very wet, more like a stream than a path.
We were soon on the summit of Grey Knotts, although if it wasn't for the cairn you wouldn't know, we were now in thick cloud with terrible visibility!
From Grey Knotts we followed the ridge to the summit of Brandreth, here we saw the only other person we would see all day looking for the summit cairn.
From Brandreth we descended to Gillercombe Head and climbed the long drag up to the summit of Green Gable, the summit suddenly emerging out of the mist right in front of us.
After a short discussion on the summit of Green Gable it was decided not to attempt Great Gable but instead to descend back to Gillercombe Head and drop down onto the Moses Trod path and follow this back to Honister by the Drum House and Tramway, getting back to Honister just before sunset.

Great Gable from Seathwaite
A wonderful day today climbing Great Gable from Seathwaite.
We set off from Seathwaite a little after 10am and climbed by the Taylorgill Force path and up to Sty Head alongside Styhead Gill.
As we approached the stretcher box at Sty Head we met the crowds descending from today's remembrance service on Great Gable. It felt a little like we were fighting against the tide as we climbed the path from Sty Head to the summit of Great Gable.
As we reached the summit of Great Gable all was quiet, all the crowds had now left and we had the summit almost to ourselves. We dropped down to the Westmoorland Cairn to eat our lunches with one of the best views in the Lake District in front of us.
After lunch we again crossed the summit before descending north, dropping down to the remarkably still Wind Gap and climbing again to the summit of Green Gable.
After a short break on Green Gable to admire the wonderful views we were off again, descending north to Blackmoor Potts and then up to the summit of Base Brown.
We descended north down the steep northern shoulder of Base Brown to meet the better defined path below as it descended alongside Sour Milk Gill and back to Seathwaite.
