The weather was really nice and we arrived at the junction with the track to Emily Tarn, expecting it to be a bit scrubby possibly even more so than in the 2019 trip. We could have put away the scrub gloves as it was surprisingly clear going.
Apart from scrambling over a gully with boulders and negotiating a few short wet areas, the walk was not hard going. It took about 2 hours of walking to get to Emily Tarn
Both Emily Tarns and nearby Arthur Tarn are lovely, with Arthur on top of a saddle whilst Emily, the larger one sits at the bottom of a basin. Several moraines plus the craggy cliffs of Hartz Peak all tell of the creation of the tarns.
