Gosforthの峡谷・トップ5

ここでは注意してください。ここはレイクディストリクトの事故多発地帯です。曇りの日の下り坂では、道に迷って避難できそうな谷に迷い込んでしまうことが非常に簡単です。事前にコンディションをチェックしてください。良い地図とコンパス（使い方を知っていること）を持ち、ワズデール山岳救助隊のウェブサイトで、ここで捕まらないための素晴らしいアドバイスをチェックしてください。

nice to look at but do not attempt very dangerous

Brilliant little scramble, very safe and managable 😊

This is a short but high ascent of a scramble called Foxes Rake. It is a relatively easy scramble but if wet would be very slippy. This takes you up to a plateau where Foxes Tarn should be if not in drought (it was) and then you can choose if you want to play and scramble again up stagger up what was grass banking as such. Once at the top you can tap out on Scafell Cairn the 2nd highest Fell in the Lakes.

Not an ideal return route to Wasdale.

A beautiful wild valley offshoot from Wasdale. The path here heads up to Black Sail Pass for access to Ennerdale and also is the main start for the Mosedale Horseshoe which is a round of the valley including Pillar, Scoat Fell, Red Pike and Yewbarrow. There used to be a good scree here from Dore Head back into Mosedale but not anymore.

Foxes Rake up to the tarn is the “easy” way to Scafell from Mickledore but it isn’t without its challenges. In summer it is usually dry so is a straightforward scramble up. In winter it can become a serious undertaking under snow, and without snow the water can turn to ice which persists because the sun never gets here much in winter. At least it is easier than some of the other alternatives.

fantastic scramble along waterfalls, good to have waterproof boots
