Wasdale day 2 - Wastwater Screes

The climb up to Illgill Head was the easy bit of today's walk. Its the return journey along the shore of Wastwater that is the real challenge. Mark Richards, in his book "great mountain days in the lake district" describes this bit of the walk as follows;

"Not even Broad Crag on a bad hair day can match the sheer mind-boggling maze of minor boulder problems, which seem to accumulate one after another, constantly raising the question as to weather the path is this way or that, up or down"

Can't be that difficult surely? Yes, actually.
