We will depart from Stirling railway station at 16.00hrs and drive to Grasmere. This will take approximately 3½ hours. Enough time to get supper en-route and have a settle in chat. The following programme should prove both challenging and exciting.

4 Wainwrights over 10 miles with 1385m of ascent! Wainwright's opinion was that Crinkle Crags gives "Lakeland's best ridge-mile".
