So, on the first day of the holiday, we decided to do a walk right from the campsite which would save us from having to drive anywhere. We left the campsite and headed up the side of Place Fell onto Boredale Hause. This is also the route that you would take for the Coast-to-Coast Path and so it was packed full of people. We made good time and, with a little difficulty, located the summit of Angletarn Pikes (1857 ft). We took a very brief break to appreciate Angle Tarn and then took a superb Cowboy-Roy route onto Brock Crags (1842 ft) which gave the legs a good work out.
Having crossed mire and marsh, we then followed a wall over to Rest Dodd (2278 ft) where we sat and had a good old rest before heading down to The Nab (1887 ft).
Now was the difficult bit. To get back to the campsite we could either take a long walk around the valley or head over Beda Fell (1664 ft), thereby collecting another Wainwright and cutting the time down dramatically. Off we went up the fell which was an easy path to follow but tiring for the weary legs. It was worth it, however, when we got to the top, walked along for a good way and then back again. The views were fantastic, but we were tired.
We then headed back to Boredale Hause, showered and went out for a heart meal.
