| Summit Cairn, Dale Head |
| Sunday March 27th 1988 |
|
We continued along the ridge, over Narrow Moor and High Spy before dropping down to the boggy hollow which houses Dalehead Tarn. We took the direct route to the summit of Dale Head, but it's a bit of a slog, and an easier option is to contour round clockwise, above the worst of the bog, until the path from Honister is crossed. This gives a much gentler ascent, and although this way is longer, it doesn't take any more time. Dale Head is crowned by a magnificent cairn, and from it the views down Newlands towards Skiddaw are superb. |
