13th May 2008 Hopegill
Head
The second route on the third day of a week in the North
Western Fells of the Lake District. We based ourselves in Lorton in the campsite
of The Wheatsheaf Inn, a convenient location to reach all 29 of these hills.
To avoid another long hot day on the
fells I spilt our planned route of the Grasmoor round into two. This late
afternoon evening route would include Hopegill Head and Whiteside. We began the
walk from Lanthwaite Green at about 3pm and set off up the route shown by AW up
Gasgale Gill, avoiding the popular lower path.
