described at p. 201. There is a fine view of 

 STY HHAD ' ^^stwater to be obtained by climbing 

 the side of Great Gable from Sty Head 

 Tarn. There is no path up this steep mountain 

 side ; and the traveller has a long day's work before 

 him ; so he will probably content himself with the 

 sight of the dale head as it opens upon him from 

 the top of the Pass. 



From "Wastdale Head he must take the moun- 

 tain road to Bout, (see p. 160), and from Bout a 

 choice of roads presents itself. The 

 ^Tdtodon° pedestrian may go up Eskdale, and 

 over Hardknot (see p. 162,) to Cockley 

 Beck, descending thence by the side of the Duddon, 

 so as to sleep at Newfield (p. 157). Or he may 

 turn south at once, see Stanley Ghyll, and take 

 the road to Ulpha Kirk (p. 158). By the first 

 route he will have walked about twenty-three 

 miles; if he has chosen the other, about seventeen 

 miles. 



The inns at Newfield and Ulpha Kirk are small 

 and primitive ; but at one village or the other the 

 traveller will probably find accommodation.
