Lovely route around the head of the Langdale Valley

I would recommend the "sporting route" up Rossett Ghyll, the direct ghyll scramble - avoiding the scrappy path at the first opportunity to leave it. It's messy and loose but if I managed it with a crammed-full 60l backpack then anyone can do it :o)
