Cunswick Scar & Scout Scar - Still cheating!!

Another two outliers, I would have liked to follow Wainwrights full route over these but for now I only had time for a quick dash, taking advantage of the free LDNPA car park in a small quarry near the antenna on the Kendal to Underbarrow road. There's more parking at the access road to the mast, both of which where quite busy for a mid week morning & it seemed a popular walk for Kendal's dog walkers.

Looking back at the antenna near the car park... 



the route crosses Gamblesmire Lane and rounds the wall corner...

first glimpse of Cunswick Scar, looks lower???

lots of these, the aptly named Early Purple Orchids???

the final short pull to Cunswick Scar...

a couple 'picnicking' on the summit cairn, meant I didn't take a photo, view back to the antennea & Scout Scar from summit...

the gate providing access to Scout Scar from the Underbarrow Road...

the edge of the scar & Barrowfield Wood...

the ridge of the scar to the King George V memorial shelter...

shelter on Scout Scar, the wainwright summit but not the high point of the escarpment...

the viewfinder on the inner rim showed what was obscured by cloud...
