Great walks: Great Gable

A BMC TV production with Mary-Ann Ochota, supported by Marmot.
This walk from Wasdale involves a lung-bursting climb of Kirk Fell, but it leads you to the summit of Great Gable, and arguably the finest view in the region; a life-affirming 360-degree panorama encompassing all that is wonderful about the English Lake District.

I did it via green gable from borrowdale up sour milk Gil 2 weeks ago . That took me 3 hours from the bus stop . One of the best climbs Iv done there particularly with the weather . I came down towards the corridor route back to borrowdale .

Hi fro CANADA.

[@baldyslapnut.]

Head towards Wastwater from the summit and you will reach the Westmoreland Cairn. Worth the detour. Seems a shame to only do Gable though. Corridor Route onto Scafell would be my plan then back to Wasdale. There is a Remembrance service at the summit of Gable. Several thousand people may be present if good weather is forecast.

What lovely music...

[@barryfullick7981]

IYet again some superb camera work trashed by that infectious You Tube disease of hideously inappropriately crap music.
For pity's sake just let the landscape speak for itself with some discreet voiceover and/or informative captions. Leave the disco beat where it belongs.

Best view in the Lake District has to be Skiddaw Little Man. ☺

being at an elevated elevation, with all eyes skyward where do you go if you need a number 2?

[@rewrai3554]

How long does it take for the whole trip up to the top and around back down ?
