Τα 3 καλύτερα ορεινά περάσματα Gosforth

Black Sail Pass is the high point on the old packhorse route from Wasdale Head into upper Ennerdale and now provides a link between Wasdale Head and Black Sail Youth Hostel. It is the lowest point on the ridge between Kirk Fell and Pillar.

Fat man's struggle. The start of the Broad Stand route. About 100m below Mickledore

Scarth Gap is the 1,460-foot (445 m) high mountain pass between beautiful Buttermere and tranquil Ennerdale in the Western Lake District. It makes use of the col between the towering High Crag and Haystacks, Wainwright's favourite fell and final resting place. From the Gap, it's an entertaining clamber to Haystacks' summit or a steep, rocky pull up onto High Crag. Energetic hikers also use the pass to reach the remote and mighty Wainwright summit of Pillar from Gatesgarth, a big but rewarding undertaking.

This is definitely Hike-a-bike!!!

For mountain lovers, there are few more magical places in the Lake District than Mickledore, the pass between Scafell Pike and Scafell. It is an exciting ridge of rock backed by Scafell's muscular East Buttress that gives access to a number of routes onto England's two highest summits. The hiking routes to Scafell Pike from here are relatively straightforward, if a little bit rugged. To attain Scafell from Mickledore, walkers have two choices: Lord's Rake, an atmospheric scramble through a gully on the mountain's north side; or Foxes Rake, an easier but no less strenuous hike to the south. Rock climbers can access Scafell via Broad Stand, a 'moderate' climb where the consequences of a slip at the crux can be fatal. It is a mountain rescue blackspot and has sadly seen many deaths over the years. Despite being the quickest way between Scafell Pike and Scafell, it is not a route for hikers.

Beautiful climb on quiet roads. Lovely views.

It is a beautiful walk up to Black Sail Pass from Wasdale Head. Especially on a day like today. It is also gives a nice steady start to the day if you doing the Mosedale Horseshoe and cutting out Kirk Fell.

Situated at the base of Kirk Fell and Pillar, with Haystacks across from it also, your reward for a challenging ascend / descent of these, is the stunning views down the valley towards Wasdale and the surrounding summits
