Really surprised by this one. The ascent was fantastic with views across Ullswater which got better as we climbed. The view fro Heron Pike is one of the best in the lakes! Descending from Sheffield Pike to the disused mine works was a bit on the boggy side but it wasn't long before we were back onto dry ground and a pleasant path down to Glenridding Beck.
