Terrain Overview
Overview
The Indian Summer on our week away in Lakeland continues, given
the heat we decided on a smaller
climb, that of Binsey which has the
distinction of being the most Northerly of all the Wainwright Fells
The back end of September in The Lake District … honestly !!
Just of the main road from Keswick to Carlisle at Beweldeth – a lay by provides ample car parking
From the road a view of Binsey
Through the gate and follow the farm track

The west crag of Binsey dominates the
early views
Looking across to Skiddaw from the Farm track
Through the gate at the end of the track and follow the path that
leads on to the open fell side
Heading towards the West Crag
Through the gate at the intake wall
Heed well the warning if you are walking with a dog
The path swings round to the left to take advantage of the easier
slope
A busy Bee !!
The path swings right to pass the front face of the West Crag
