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
Patterdale via Angle Tarn, the Knott (C2C), leave C2C to High Street, Mardale III Bell, Harter Fell, through Mosedale via Bothy, Swindale via Abbey to Shap. Warm, good vis. Heavy showers at end of the day. Talked to guy at Mosedale Bothy who said he was the postmaster at Shap and looked after the bothy.
