Sadgill to Kidsty pike March 18
Its been a very white winter,but alot of that has come with big winds giving hard trips and drifting up the snow on lee sides to sometimes waist deep snow..today was not one of those days and was made even better by the return of my mate Lee,to the hills We chatted about a route and i came up with this one as it gave us both a chance to bag the Birkett, Castle crag. Even if our start point was not overly close to it It was a stunning morning a little cool and the falls were alive with small birds and full with the nights rain At the top of Gatescarth we stopped for a drink and take in the views, although theres been a massive snow loss there were still some very big drifts in places and along some of the dry stone walls Spot the fly fishing man To say the least its a very steep pull up to this little summit,there were some complaints.....but for a small peak it gave a cracking view Haweswater stretching away
