Tuesday 7th July, Evening Scrambles in Barbondale

My son Scott is back in Kendal for a week and we opted for an evenings scrambling in Patterdale, unfortunately a serious car accident blocked the main road into the Lakes so we headed off to Barbondale again.

We followed the same route as a few days ago and enjoyed a pleasant scramble up the gyhll with no one else around.

There is a second ghyll a few hundred metres away and we decided to visit it after we finished the first ghyll. It has many more large blocks to scramble over and a large 8m wall to climb to escape from the ghyll. Conditions were still damp but we managed a good evening before retiring to the local pub for a few beers.
