Highways July Meet (The Lake District)

(10.7.2016) Dale Head & Cat Bells ridge (The Lake District) 19km.5hrs,42mins.1023m ascent

Me & Shane were dropped off the bus South of Derwent Water at Grange. Took the Cumbria Way & then headed West up the disused Rigghead Quarries. We took our time heading up the path by the slate, peering in the little caves that were scattered up the quarries. Got to Dalehead Tarn & nipped up the summit of Dale Head 751m before heading back to Dalehead Tarn. From Here we headed North along the ridge, luckily with the wind blowing us along, to High Spy, Maiden Moor, Cat Bells & back to Keswick. A good day with only an occasional shower.
