Fab report Brandywell of a fab route O0 Lovely pics too :)
I've done it once solo and the second time with beefy when we were carrying our camping stuff and I wished I hadn't chosen such a steep (in parts) route :)
Thanks April. I remember not being able to face that climb when backpacking back home over the fell tops between Catbells and Coniston Old Man. I thought it might have resulted in a late pitch on Long Top Crinkle Crags, that's my excuse anyway. ;)
Thanks for sharing this. The photos are excellent. This one is going on my list for my annual week in the Lake District next autumn O0
Thanks GeoffB. It can be climbed equally well from Wasdale Head, the way I've usually climbed it in the past. O0
That looked a challenging trip Brandywell and some great photos of fabulous scenery. Thanks for sharing O0 What was your total distance?
Regards Keith
Thanks Keith. The northern crags are not as difficult as they appear from the top of The Band, I think there is just one steepish step early on. The total distance was 6.75 miles returning to Seathwaite via Esk Hause and Grains Gill. :)
Thanks Beefy. Have you ever had a wild camp beside Lambfoot Dub which is accessable from the top of The Band. Weather permitting, a sunset from there would be spectacular. 8)
