September 6, 2023,Wast Water and Nether Wasdale – Burnmoor Tarn loop from Eskdale Green

Gate fest, two brutal climbs which were not rewarded by the downhills. First too steep and a boulder field and had to push down into a bog!

Second another boulder field!

Wont be doing this ride again in a hurry!
