The 'Chipping Trigs' outing received mixed reviews - 'too long' and 'too much road' being the main complaints. Back o'Fairsnape will cover some of the same ground, but addresses these two complaints.
It draws the main part of its route from the Fiendsdale Race, which I think is now defunct. Starting from Beacon Fell we cross to Fairsnape summit, then heading north east to pick up Bleadale water which will lead us to Langden Castle (an abandoned shepherd's hut (correct placing of the apostrophe?).
Thence south west up Fiendsdale and over back to the Bleasdale plain and Beacon Fell. Probably 13 or 14 miles in total.
I'll be trying to sort out a date, can anyone who is particularly interested in this proposal speak up so they can be consulted. A Saturday would probably be best as it would suit the few remaining wealth generators in our squad.
See:- https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bleadale+water&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjT26GR1YLQAhVBJsAKHS1UD5QQsAQINg&biw=1600&bih=770 for what lies in store. I'm not sure what the later images on this site have to do with our route, but the earlier ones seem relevant.

As it stands, the earliest available date for this outing is Saturday 19th November.
It's now looking like the earliest that folk, who have declared an interest in this outing, can do is Saturday 3rd December - but at least that's still 2016!
Latest position on this one is that it's proving a little difficult to find a free Saturday before Christmas, so we're shelving it until the new year.
