NAB SCAR. 95 



He will now certainly ascend Helvellyn, and every 

 other mountain that comes in his way. 



Those travellers who cannot achieve the whole 

 of this excursion should at least ascend Nab Scar, 

 After passing Rydal Mount and the farmhouse 

 above it, the road leads through a gate. There is 

 then a barn to be passed, and immediately after- 

 wards a turn to the left must be taken. This leads 

 up a steep grassy road between two walls. On 

 arriving at the top of this path the way is clear of 

 fences, and there is no difficulty in reaching the 

 summit. It may, however, be as well to mention 

 that the easiest ascent" is made by following a nar- 

 row path in an easterly direction till two scraggy 

 ashes, the only trees on this part of the fell, have 

 been passed, and then turning towards the summit. 

 In this way the steepest part is avoided.
