This posed a cunningroute choice problem, and it was best to contour the long way roundvia Grisedale Tarn, I made my only navigational mistake o-f the day andlust 10 minutes going direct over Nethermost Pike. (But I'd alwayswanted to look at Nethermost Crags -from below - very pretty ) and Ican now identi-fy the small grassy rake which gives an easy ascent/descent.

You had to get to a bend oni" Beck (1 mile NW of Douthwai tehead or 2 mi lea west of CloughHead , GR 363220).
