Okay, thanks to some diligent digging, we now have a list of the
access points which will allow you onto the Central Fells from
Saturday. The list of specific paths which are open hasn't been made
public yet, but you can put two and two together and work out some
likely routes.
There will be disinfectant precautions in place together with
volunteers both at the access points and on the fells themselves
between the hours of eight and six, though access won't be restricted
to those times.
The general areas open are: Grasmere, Langdale, Loughrigg,
Helvellyn, Fairfield, Stony Cove Pike, High Street, Red Screes,
Fairfield, Ill Bell, Great Gable, Wasdale Fells, Coniston Fells, Cat
Bells, High Spy, Causey Pike, Grisedale Pike and the Buttermere
Fells.
