A circular walk of Mosedale Valley including a wild camp / bivvy on Black Sail Pass from Wasdale in the Lake District. The walk starts from the car park below Yewbarrow, from here we followed the road alongside Wast Water to Wasdale Head. From here we passed the inn and headed into Mosedale valley. As the sunset we climbed Black Sail Pass and found a wild camp/bivvy spot before darkness set in. The following morning we climbed up to Looking Stead before leaving the ridge for the High Level Route at Green Cove. Here we followed the path to Robinson's Cairn through the cloud. After the cairn we climbed up to the Shamrock Traverse before finally viewing Pillar Rock through the mist. After Pillar Rock we ascended Pillar before heading to Little Scoat Fell via Wind Gap & Black Crags. The return leg then heads south east to Red Pike before descending to Dore Head and admiring Stirrup Crag on Yewbarrow. Climbing the crag we follow the ridge of Yewbarrow before descending back to the the starting car park. Music by Snow Patrol - Run & The Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade.
