From the (free) car park above the Blencathra Centre at NY 30269 25647, to the summit of Blencathra by the west ridge, passing over Knowe Crags 805m/14m and Gategill Fell Top 851m/18m. In mist most of the way, with no views, despite the warm weather. I then took a descending traverse to Mungrisdale Common, finding the 'summit' cairn on its flat boggy plateau. Then descended to Sinen Gill to join the track down the Glenderaterra valley from Skiddaw House, and so back to the car. The southerly wind blew cloud over Blencathra nearly all the day, but the sun burnt through as I reached the Common. Solo.
