Scales Fell to Blencathra, along to top of Sharp Edge & then followed path by Foule Crag. Turned left & followed wide path to MC & then back along another boggy path to the col below Bannerdale Crags. I followed the clear path past the old Lead mine & down to the foot bridge, then up to the top of Mousthwaite Comb & back the way I'd walked up. [weather] Low cloud, visibility poor to very poor. Cold & then warm! A bit of a breeze but nothing to shout about. - No particular problems apart from the dull boggy stretch to MC.
