Mungrisedale Common

Saturday, 5th August

Have been here - twice - but never found the cairn. Today's idea was: to visit the Cloven Stone, find the summit cairn and then walk on up to Blencathra and down Blease Fell to the Threlkeld Centre car park. We started out quite late and Marcus decided he had had enough after climbing the Common. It didn't matter to me, I just wanted to find the summit and re-visit the stone.
Skiddaw House looked wonderful, surrounded in a cloud of heather. It was the first time Marcus has actually seen it and I was so glad he saw it at it's best.
