Itinerary description
|
Drive from Wasdale Head over Mickledore Pass and back over Piers Gill.
I have made difficult difficulty as there are two complicated areas: one, on the ascent to the Mickledore pass you have to climb a section. A little caution and it goes without a problem. The other one on the descent of Piers Gill is more complicated. (It can be seen in the info of the way point) It is a step of about 15 meters whose descent should not be trusted. The rest of the route would be moderate. It starts with an altitude of 82m. in Wasdale.
The setting is spectacular as shown in the photos.
Loop from Wasdale Head over Mickledore Pass and back over Piers Gill. I have set the difficulty as difficult bacause there are two complicated areas: one, on the way up to the Mickledore pass you have to scramble a little bit. A little caution and it's over with no problem. The other one, on the Piers Gill descent is more complicated. (You can see it in the info of the waypoint) It is a section of about 15 meters where you have to climb down. The rest of the route can be considered as moderate. It starts with an elevation of 82m. in Wasdale. The scenery is spectacular as shown in the photos
