On Thursday evening, Anna and I joined Sabiene and the rest of the AW Thursday night group for a boggy trip up Ullscarf.
We left from the west , of Thirlmere, the Dobb gill car park and made our way up a good track up to Harrop Tarn. From here the track was a bit steeper, less distinct and a lot wetter underfoot. My lightweight summer boots aren’t waterproof and I was soon sloshing around as much as last Sunday.
We soon had a good view across to Blea tarn and made our way up the ridge to the top of Ullscarf.

We came down towards Nab crags which entailed a bit of winding around steep drops:

There was an obvious rainstorm over Blencathra and it was heading our way, so we picked the pace up and headed for the Thirlspot where we met our friends Ricard and Mary for a well deserved pint (or two)
