The Mistral (Ease Gill)
Several fixed ropes and ladders are in place throughout the Ease Gill system. These are not monitored or inspected and are nothing to do with the CNCC. They should never be used. Always take your own ropes where they are required.
Access
No prior permission needed if approaching from Bull Pot Farm.
If approaching from Leck Fell call at Leck Fell House for permission (Mr. Alan Middleton). Parking here is usually permitted. Adhere to the country code and keep to defined path.
