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
Up the lovely ridge of Rough crag. Breakfast on summit of Racecourse Hill (High Street). Great run around and over Ill Bell. Got jelly legs coming down off Harter Fell. The track down was horrible - lots of loose rocks of varying size.
