Saddleback or Blencathra remains one of our favourite mountains, not least because it’s fairly close to home, is easily climbed in just a couple of hours and has extensive views across the Northern and Eastern fells. Having climbed it before in all weathers, it really is our mountain for all seasons. Our Orcadian friends had never climbed it before, so Saturday afternoon saw us taking to the path above Scales Farm en route to the summit. It was an easy ascent in the warm afternoon sun and we were soon at the top, admiring the views and feeling pleased with our achievement
