240 NINTH DAY. 



p. 220). If he prefers the less fatiguing way, he 

 continues along the track which lies before him. 

 Soon after crossing the ridge, he may leave the 

 road, and climb along the side of the mountain to 

 Gait's Tarn. The deep hollow in which it lies is 

 unmistakeable. After reaching Conis- 

 ton, the tourist has but the eight miles 

 to Langdale in prospect ; so he will probably find 

 leisure to explore the beauties of the lake (see Con- 

 iston, p. 33). The road he has to follow, through 

 Yewdale, Tilberthwaite and Langdale, is described 

 at pp. 36 and 197. 



At the inn, under the Langdale Pikes, the stran- 

 ger mil find sleeping accommodation, and a guide 

 for the next day's expedition. 



NINTH DAT. — EOSSET GHYLl, SCAWFELL, EASED AlE, GEAS- 

 MEEE AND AMBLESIDE. 



This day's excursion is a regular mountain walk, 

 and should not be attempted by any stranger with- 

 out a guide. Leaving Langdale, the tourist pro- 

 ceeds up the valley of Mickleden to 

 E/Osset Ghyll. He must climb this 

 gully, where there is hardly a trace of a path ; and 

 in doing so he will be shewn where, on his right, 

 the Stake Pass begins. After reaching the top he 

 will skirt Angle Tarn, under Bowfell, reach Esk 

 Hause, and then ascend Scawfell Pikes (p. 206). 



His course hence is nearly due east, Easedale 



Tarn being the point to which he is bound. His 



guide will point out the various sum-
