We are 'Rowan sitting' for Molly this week, so with a good and not too hot, forecast, a walk on the fells ...parking in Braithwaite it was up to Barrow Door and on to Barrow. We than returned to Barrow Door before going up onto Stile End and Outerside. The heather was stunning - and very 'polleny'. Then up the valley to the col between Sail (glad not to be going up that zig-zag path to Sail) and Scar Crags. Lunch at the top, accompanied by the seasonal flying ants, before descending to Causey Pike. Superb clarity and views and two happy dogs. Rather than being pulled off the end of Causey Pike by said dogs, we returned to the low point between Causey Pike and Scar Crags and took the far gentler diagonal path back down towards Outerside - a much better option!
