Returned to Blencathra for a circular walk of the main summits on the East of Blencathra. Set off from Scales Farm, on a mix of cloud & sunny day. Walk up to Scales Fell, then on up to Doddick Fell. We continued up to Blencathra Hallsfell top with good views all around, but alot of flies. We then walked N across the saddle to Saddleback, where we had a quiet lunch. After a good break, we then continued onto the summit of Atkinson Pike, then descended via Foule Crag ridge and Blue screes to Glendermackin col. Here we turned SE to return to our outward route and descend to Scales farm
