Not an ideal return route to Wasdale.

Hiking

Take care here. This is an accident black spot of the Lake District. On a cloudy descent is is far too easy to get lost and end up in what looks like a sheltered gill. Check out the conditions in advance. Have a good map and compass (know how to use them) and visit Wasdale Mountain Rescue website for some great advice so not to get caught up here.
