Wasdale to Borrowdale High Level Route From the Wasdale Head Inn, take the ‘Moses Trod’ Path back towards Sty Head but after approximately one mile a path turns left heading towards Gavel Neese and between the famous White and Great Napes pinnacles. To view a cross-section of the route click here. The path then ascends up to Great Gable. From the summit, there are superb views over towards Ennerdale, the Scafell range and to Borrowdale. From the summit descend into Windy Gap - a bolder strewn area before making the ascent to Green Gable. From Green Gable, follow the path to Brandreth and from here continuing onto Grey Knotts before dropping down to Honister Hause. Here it is well worth a visit to the Lakeland slate quarry which has recently reopened. From here make the descent down into Borrowdale by using the old Honister Pass road valley which runs parallel to the main Honister Pass road before arriving at Seatoller. Here, we recommend taking a pleasant walk through Johnny Wood before arriving at Rosthwaite and the Scafell Hotel for refreshments. Total Route Mileage - approx 7 miles
