In reply to Mark Bull:
Correct, obviously too easy but I'm harkened to know that there are others out there with similar levels of geekiness about such things.
Route from Wasdale Head was up Piers Gill (the path above it of course, I suspect the Gill itself would be quite an expedition), MK, Broad Crag Col, Pen, down up and across to CSC, up the ridge to Long Green, then across the west slopes of Scafell gradually dropping height to reach the Burnmoor path at Hollow Gill, just before it gets down.
The shepherd was bringing sheep down from the area between Pen and Dow Crag (Esk Buttress), on ground that looked quite impressively broken and steep, with them finishing on the path you use to get back down after climbing on Esk Buttress.
Visibility was excellent, Snowdonia no trouble but with my binoculars I was wondering whether that was bits of Ireland I could see (not with the naked eye), just felt too far from Snowdonia to still be Anglesey "bumps". Edit: just looked on Peakfinder - was not Ireland ☹, Anglesey sticks out further than I realised from that angle.
