We parked in the hamlet of Mungrisdale, home to a handful of cottages, farms and the all-important public house, where most walks seem to have the unerring ability to begin and end from, which was exactly the case for ours today. After a morning making the most of better than expected weather, we'd headed round to Mungrisdale in the hope that the forecast rain may hold off for a little longer. Despite the warmth in the day, views were limited thanks to a thick haze that had draped itself across the park.

A path clings to the very brink of the crags as it makes it way along towards Bowscale Fell, the highest point of the day, with the clouds rising and falling as we made our way along. It's a fairly easy route and has the added bonus of being largely flat until the final climb.
