As above really... in the area this weekend and know of a lot of the stuff in the area but was wondering if I was missing anything. Provisional idea in my head is Sawrey > through Claife Heights to Hawkshead (which trails are best here - stick to the BW?) > up Vicar Lane (?) into Grizedale and NFT to the visitor centre maybe > up to Parkamoor and the descent to Satterthwaite (is there a better option for this to come off at the second to last road crossing, turn left and then right down an unmarked/unclassified 'path'?) > maybe road to Force Mills and then BW up and over the hill back into Satterthwaite > Breasty Haw > Devils Gallop and back to Sawrey??? Is the BW just south of the end of Devils Gallop to High Cunsey worth a go instead of pootling back to Sawrey on the road???

Cheers
Dave

I'm not quite sure what you mean by Parkamoor, I always refer to the Parkamoor descent as the one that goes past the house and brings you out at Nibthwaite.

You're missing that, aswell as a couple of descents that start either side of the Lawson Park house. You're also missing the trig point descent and the Ickenthwaite descent.

How you fit them all in is upto you!

We did did last week.

Grizedale, up to Claife heights, drop to Hawkhead (cafe stop) 😆 BW climb up to a section of the North face trail pop out at Moor Top, fireroad to the 'riverbed drop' which comes out at the bottom of the new black run, turn right up the BW to the 2nd section of NFT, across to the top of Parkamoor and drop into Satterthwaite.
