Sharp Edge, Blencathra, Lake District 08 March

The Duchy AITP roadtrip rolls into the Lake District to take advantage of some great scrambles, ridges and mountain biking. On one of the days, a small group of us ventured onto the classic Sharp Edge ridge on Blencathra. Not a particularly long ridge, but knife edge, with big drops on both sides! You have to be careful though, as the rock is slate and when wet it's incredibly slippery - the accident statistics aren't great reading and it's rumoured that the Keswick Mountain Rescue Team know exactly where unfortunate souls end up in the corrie below. Luckily for us, conditions were good.
