Ben...in amongst your back issues of TRAIL should be an approximation of the route we took.

December 2001 issue, Page 92-93, Walk 8, Lake District 2-dayer, Langdale to Wasdale, excpet we didn't go across to Mickeldore and Scafell then down to Wasdale. Instead we went down to Lingmell and along the Corridor route to Styhead Tarn. Oh and we couldn't be arsed to go over the top of the Langdale Pikes...we went straight down from Pike of Stickle to the ODG.

Have a look at the mag, and OS Map LR 90...the route is quite easy to follow and the paths were easy to navigate along (well they'd have to be wouldn't they!)

looks like we only just missed you, on the Saturday we went from Scafell Pike to Scafell, came down round the end of Black Crag to pick up the upper part of the Wasdale then the Corridor route past Lingmell (another good wild camp spot) to Styhead Pass and back down to Seathwaite where we were parked, apart from the accident at Broad Stand it was an excellent day out, Friday we did the Coledale round but the "wrong" way so we could take in a couple of scrambles and avoid the long slog up Gable from Styhead pass, another long but excellent day
