Lake District, is to scramble down the tongue of land which 

 here divides them. Should this look awkward (and it looks 

 much worse than it is), cross the larger stream to the left 

 bank and everything will be straightforward, and ten minutes 

 more will bring you to the meeting of the waters from Peers 

 Gill and Girla Gill. Now ascend towards Sty Head, but 

 keeping on Scafell ground, and before coming in sight of 

 Sty head Tarn, two more of these narrow clefts, which are 

 almost peculiar to this mountain, will be passed. The first 

 is, as far as I can make out, anonymous, but, though on a 

 small scale, contains a waterfall which would be very beau- 

 tiful if its supply of water were properly arranged. The 

 second is called ^faixr ©ill and would be a show place any- 

 where else. It is, happily, distinguishable from the others 

 by affording a passable road along its bed, which leads 

 nearly to the summit of Great End; and I would here 

 recommend the descent from Far Crag down this ravine, 

 but it is difficult to indicate marks sufficiently distinctive to 

 make sure of finding the right way, and even a moderate 

 divergence from it on this side might easily bring the unwary 

 to considerable grief. Between two ravines there is another 

 route to the Pikes, which I consider the best for anyone who 

 has, for any reason, to make jStg ^Jfejeatl the point of his 

 departure. This slants along the mountain-side a little after 

 passing the foot of Skew Gill, to the head of the nameless 

 Gill, which head is a small plain called Strand. Here a 

 small mountain-ash comes in sight a few yards below, and a 

 pile of stones erected in sport by some dalesman and called 

 Sam' Torn Grandfather, is in front. A sharp turn to the 

 left, up the watercourse for ten minutes, and a pool of water, 

 too diminutive even to be called a tarn, is visible, and a 

 very few yards beyond this is revealed the small stream 

 mentioned before, descending from Calf Cove Col. A few
