		The barque Blencathra sailed from Glasgow for Sydney on her maiden voyage on 26 October 1874 with general cargo, one passenger, and a crew of 19 under Captain D Nicholas.
		The wreck of the Blencathra was sold to L. Stephenson & Son of Melbourne, who promptly sent the steamer Rescue to the site with a salvage team and Customs officials, the latter being most concerned with the large quantity of dutiable goods on board.

	Lake District - Blencathra, 1/5/04
		Blencathra is at the south (left) end of the saddle, Atkinson Pike at the north end.
		A feature of the saddle is the pair of quartzite crosses each side of the col. This, the larger of the two, is the work of Harold Robinson, who extended an existing small cross immediately after the second world war.
		Blease Fell is the western shoulder of Blencathra, and it's a huge, convex half dome.

		Blencathra is one of the great mountains of Lakeland also referred to as the Saddleback.
		Besides being direct and leading straight to the summit is never tedious except perhaps in the early stages as you gain an initial foothold on the mountain.
		After scaling the steep southern slopes of Blencathra the tamer northern slopes are in complete contrast.

		Blencathra may mean 'mountain of the stone circular fort', from the Celtic blaen, summit, and cathair or cathrach, thought to refer to the nearby stone circle of Castlerigg.
		Blencathra can be seen to be representational of this source and the reason for the symbolic solar orientation of the Mayburgh-Blencathra alignment.
		Blencathra is a mountain that lies and rises like a phoenix from the very heart of Mayburgh.

		The summit of Blencathra lies 500m SSW across the grassy summit plateau.
		It is not as hard as the ground on Sharp Edge but you should be careful to stick close to the crest as this is where the cleanest rock is. Numerous micro-variations are possible so you'll be able to make it as hard or as easy as you like.

		The hills rising north of Keswick and the river Greta form a close-knit group entirely separated from the rest of the district.
		Blencathra is a giant of a hill, rising to 2847ft, and throwing down a unique 5-ridged front towards Threlkeld in the Vale of Keswick.
		Blencathra (also known as Saddleback) falls to remote moorland country to the north and northeast - Wainwright recognises four satellite fells but one must question whether Mungrizedale Common even qualifies as a top, let alone a fell.

	Blencathra (Hall's Fell) - Walk
		You cannot get lost on this ridge, there is only one destination, a sharp arete (small photo) (large photo) and then the summit.
		It is a wonderfully exhilarating route with an early sighting of Blencathra's summit ahead, at the top of the ridge.
		The arete is about as safe as Striding Edge - so avoid it in snow and ice or strong winds - but should provide no great difficulty for the average fellwalker, contrast Sharp Edge.

	The Lake District - Blencathra
		Blencathra is one of the most fascinating mountains in the Lake District and also one of the most well known, the shattered ribs of its south face dominating the skyline as you drive on the A66 into Keswick.
		There are a wealth of exciting ways up Blencathra and all are rewarding, for example a scramble up the arete of Gatesgill or Doddick Fell offers airy views and a quick way to the summit.
		However, red-blooded walkers will be unable to avoid the temptation of ascending via Scale Tarns and the dramatic Sharp Edge, an exhilarating ridge climb that is at least as grand as Helvellyn's Striding Edge, yet has the advantage of being less crowded.

	Blencathra
		December is the month to head for the Lake District, if the weather is kind, because at this time of year there is peace and quiet to be found on the other wise crowded and noisy Fells.
		I don't think that you will find any where quieter than the Northern Fells and for me Blencathra is the place to be.
		I intended to climb Blencathra via Bowscale Fell, so as to take a look at the tarn that hangs below Tarn Crags to the north of the summit, so I started to climb immediately up to ridge above Raven Crags to the north of Mungrisdale.

	Blencathra
		This was a long, slow and tiring climb with the heavy packs and the snow, but all that effort was instantly forgotten when the views really opened out at the minor top of Knowe Crags to give a splendid vista of Lakeland fells and the Skiddaw group closer to hand.
		A short walk further, the main top of Blencathra was deserted for the first time on our visits and we drank in the views, while the snowy ridges converging from below were emphasized in bold relief.
		A path descends W to the head of the Glenderamackin, where we followed the thin icy contouring path beneath the buttresses to the foot of the Scales Tarn path.

		Blencathra, also sometimes called Saddleback due to it's similarity to a saddle when viewed from the east, is possibly one of the Lake District's most charismatic mountains.
		There are three ridges leading to the sunmmit from Threlkeld village, there is the route from Scales leading on to Sharp Edge, which should get everyones adrenaline flowing, especially if there is a gusty wind and there are also easy routes from the west and east.
		The Blencathra Centre is part of the Field Studies Council and runs some excellent courses, many directly related to the Lake District.

		Blencathra (also known as Saddleback although the ancient name has a more dignified poetry to it) is a solitary hill standing between Keswick and Penrith.
		Although it is perhaps seen at its best from Threlkeld we decided to walk to the summit from Mungrisdale after first going over Souther Fell.
		However no such sightings on the day we climbed to its fine summit cairn, just a good view over to the steep cloud-misted slopes of Blencathra which was reward enough.

		The north of the hill is very different in character and a quiet day can be had exploring this approach (note that the Caldew will have to be forded) reaching the summit over Mungrisdale Common or Bannerdale Fell.
		The land north of Blencathra seems to have a slightly Scottish feel to it and at one time the Caldew did indeed form the border between England and Scotland.
		Wainwright said that there is a 15' depression between Blencathra and the Common, but it is not obvious on the ground.

		This is quite steep but as the path winds up you are soon confronted by what looks like a wall up and over this and you are rewarded with a magnificent view of the summit of Blencathra and Scales Tarn sitting in almost a round create by Tarn Crags and Sharp Edge.
		While eating my lunch on the summit enjoying the views and the sun I got chatting with an older couple of walkers who had come up from the Blencathra Centre, which is at the end of the main road that winds through Threlkeld just off the A66.
		I will defiantly be seeing the summit of Blencathra again but I think that I will use Hall's Fell Edge for the accent next time, once is enough for me on Sharp Edge.
