Grasmoor

Walked on 01/05/2007

Start point: Rannerdale Bridge (NY 163 192)

Rannerdale Bridge – Whin Ben – Whiteside – Gasgale Crags – East Top of Whiteside –  Hopegill Head – Sand Hill – Grasmoor – Wandope –Thirdgill Head Man – Whiteless Pike – Whiteless Breast – Low Bank – Rannerdale Knotts – Rannerdale Bridge

Distance: 9.7 miles     Total Ascent: 1190 metres     Time Taken: 4 hours 15 minutes

Weather: Fine and sunny with a cool breeze on the top again. 21oC.

Today’s conditions were almost perfect. Not a cloud in the sky, which was a beautiful azure, and the sun was shining and warm – warm enough for shorts and t-shirt for the full round. It was just me and Casper today, Angus stayed home and had a lie in whilst Casper gave his new haircut a run out.
