Did this walk, 15 in the “Stations” book, yesterday without the book. Mistake! Had trouble finding Little Widdale Tarn as we crossed the fence at The Great Tarn instead of following it right. I do say in the introduction “Navigation…. needs close correlation between the text and map”, but thought better of it, what a twerp. It is quite boggy between the tarns and the limestone edge at present, but not over the boots stuff.
After the ladder stile at SD828897 the quad “track” remains hard to find, and is in fact quite boggy in places, but still probably better than traversing the rough pasture. The map below show detail between Great Knoutberry Fell, the tarns, and the wall to follow beyond.
Finally, if you think of parking at the Moorcock rather than at Garsdale Station, to shorten the long walk at the end of the day, it takes longer than 15 minutes at the start to get upto the station at a normal pace!
