Blencathra - up Sharp Edge and down Hall's Fell

In terms of distance (about 5.5 miles) and runnability (running up Sharp Edge is a bit tricky to say the least) this little outing probably doesn't count for much but, as far as fantastic routes up and down a mountain go, it just doesn't get any better than this. Especially in today's pretty much perfect weather.  A real humdinger!

Blencathra ahoy

Harry in his element

Sharp Edge on the horizon

Looking sharpy and edgey

Climbing up there proved to be a doddle for Harry the mountain dog

Looking back along Sharp Edge

Harry glad to have got to the top of Sharp Edge (it wasn't really a doddle)

Galloping to the summit of Blencathra

The summit view of Threlkeld from where we started out

Posing as usual

Sun burst over the Lake District

Peek-a-boo

Harry enjoying the view

Not a bad view as it happens

Looking back up Hall's Fell

Say cheese

Nearly down now

Ze route
