This Lake District circuit is a challenging route and includes some fine walking, some tarns, plus a summit or two! The weather on this occasion was poor hence the lack of photos and I only met 4 people and a dog. In fine weather this is some of finest country in the far eastern lakeland fells. The views west are superb with Helvellyn and many other peaks filling the horizon. Wainwrights included in this walk are - Angletarn Pikes, Brock Crags, Gray Crag, High Street, The Knott, Thornthwaite Crag . A GPS File is available for download (see walk description). A route profile is also provided.
Please maintain social distancing - keep at least 2 metres away from other walkers.
