Two Wainwrights from the little hamlet of Sadgill at the head of Longsleddale. You are on the edge of the Lake District here and can feel it, the boggy ground and views of moorland make it feel more Pennine than Lakeland. Sadgill is lovely if a little remote and it is uphill from the start all the way to Grey Crag. Down a bit and over the bog of Greycrag tarn and then up to Tarn Crag with its survey pillar. A drop down to Mosedale, turn left and then the Gatesgarth Pass path is joined which is followed back to the start.
