Frosty, clear sunny day, light breeze. Nicky, Matt, Ian Haynes and I. Howtown, White Knott, Arthur’s Pike, Bonscale Pike, Loadpot Hill, Wether Hill, Brownthwaite Crag, Steel Knotts, Cowtown. A gorgeous day to be out, mist over the water, -4°C at the start but warmer once in the sun on the ridge. Met Mark Procter purely by chance on Loadpot Hill.
Area :
Far Eastern Fells
Reaching their highest point at High Street(828 metres) they occupy a broad area to the east of Ullswater and Kirkstone Pass. Much quieter than the central areas of Lakeland they offer in general easier but less exciting walking as the fells merge mainly into the surrounding moorlands. Exceptions however are the fine rock scenery to be seen surrounding the head of Haweswater
