that case, the route would be up Little Langdale, over Wry- 

 nose and Hardknot, and through by Burnmoor Tarn ; about 

 25 miles each way. If attempted by equestrians; down 

 Winandermere, by steam yacht, by rail round by Ulverston, 

 to Ravenglass, Drigg, or Seascale, and then by horsed- 

 conveyance, would probably be the best route ; but possibly 

 the Railway Time Tables might show that to drive to Coni- 

 ston Station would be best, and thence by rail to Seascale. 

 It ought to be remarked, that it is possible to drive over 

 Wrynose and Hardknot, and it is easy enough on horse- 

 back. 



^cainfeiL — By driving up Langdale to the Dungeon 

 Gill Hotel, this mountain can easily be ascended in one day

 at the hotel.

 experience of the hills, would go up Great Langdale ; pro- 

 cure a guide at the Dungeon Gill Hotel ; then up Rosset 

 Gill ; by Sprinkling Tarn ; and strike for Black Sail. This 

 is only eight miles, as the crow flies, from Langdale Head ; 

 but is at once an arduous piece of mountain work and cer- 

 tainly one of the finest walks in the district. These Lakes 

 can also be * done ' in a day by taking the early coach from 

 Windermere to Keswick, where it arrives about nine o'clock. 

 At ten or so, several of the hotel-keepers despatch waggon- 

 ettes over Honister Pass to Buttermere, and home by the 

 Vale of Newlands. If the driver will not undertake to be 

 back at Keswick at 4 30, in time for the coach, we must 

 advise a private car, by which the round can be done in good 

 time.
