Chapter to Wadley's via Cathedral Plateau
Tue 13 Nov, 2012 7:09 pm
As requested by ENT this is the BWT Strollers wee "Stroll" over this area 
(was it 3 or 4 years ago ) Not that it is interesting nor really informative
Mersey Forest road to Chapter no problems
Several GPS devises were in use when we got to Grail Falls and after rounding Chalice Lake we had a wee debate as to where to head to our next destination Tent Tarn,no worries after a false lead we ended up on a cairned pad and duly arrived at our destination
we set up camp and had our first use of communal Tarp for cooking and social shelter (I think one member did use it to sleep under) after a nice evening of food drink and conversation we all went to bed (flyfisher and I shared the last night of my Hallmark Snow Cave tent use ,it is dead now 
) No Hillibergs on that trip
Next morning we arose to iffy weather which held off till we downed tents and just had time to get under the Communal Fly when precipitation occurred in a big way so as the
un-appointed Stroll leader I made the decision as is it was really pointless attempting to head off (did I mention almost Zero visibility) that was when we created our norm of 10.00 am Strollers start on a new day
Multi GPS in hand we headed NW to the creek between Bishop Peak and Curate Bluff and after some small diversions owing to visibility and scrub covered small scree we duly arrived at the said Creek between the Peak and Bluff (hope you are taking this in ENT) decent down the Creek was much scrubbier than I remembered and Leech laden and bugger me the track had suffered over the proceeding years to be non existent apart from a small couple of marked parts which reinforced my assertion that there was a marked pad down there once
Not to worry tho, we had our Dozer in si who headed off downhill at a rate of knots so fast that us old farts Flyfisher and me had to keep asking him to slow down,nevertheless we did end up up at the permanent (last time I looked) big log bridge with hand rail wire (recent addition) across the Mersey just down from Wadley's hut
Next day was so nice that some of us had a nice swim in the Mersey before heading out via Lees in perfect weather
and sorry don't do photos as sthughes excels at this on our Strolls .

Many thanks eggs
I think my mate Ent was trying to get a rise out of me because I touched a nerve
