October 11, 2024,Middle Fell, Seatallan, Buckbarrow Round

After a tiring day up Scaffel Pike I edited an existing Komoot route to take us up and around here. A few steep climbs in the the first third of the walk but a great walk because of the long descent. Beautiful views over Wasdale and of some super cool rock formations. Nice to get off the tourist track!

We had a few hours to spare after our morning trip to see the Bluebird K7 festival so did this shorter loop which ticked off 3 Wainwright's. The weather was pants, drizzle and lots of fog so pretty much no views at all 😶‍🌫️☹️
Seatallan - 691m
Middle Fell - 582m
Buckbarrow - 430m
