Holiday in Lake District – Green Gable and Great Gable

Again, another very warm and sunny day. Parked at the slate mine at Honister then followed the old tram way to the “Drum House” ruins following a route skirting below Brandreth to the summit of Green Gable. Afterwards dropped down into Windy Gap then up the north-east side of Great Gable to the summit.

We stopped on the south-west side of the summit to get a bit of breeze and discourage the small flies and midges which were flying around in the summit area.

Afterwards we dropped down to Beck Head between Great Gable and the neighbouring peak of Kirk Fell then followed Moses Trod back to the ruined tramway and Honister.
