We had planned to go up Blencathra today but the cloud was down and we had to be back for mid-afternoon, so we quickly devised Plan B! Four Wainwrights including Causey Pike whose top we could see was clear. Needless to say Blencathra did clear out! A good walk though with plenty of good views and lots of up and down! We parked in Braithwaite; up Stile End (not a Wainwright); down to Barrow Door and onto Barrow; back to Barrow Door and behind Outerside; across and up to Causey Pike (rather than the usual path to the col below Sail); then along Scar Crags; down to the col before Sail and then back over Outerside and down from Barrow Door back to Braithwaite.
