Description

A day tidying up odds and sods of Wainwrights, from Far Eastern Fells, to Northern and finally Western! Sunny until the final walk!
20km, 825m (inc 4.5km by bike)
Started in Swindale with Selside, Branstree, Tarn Crag and Grey Crag and a long walk out.
9km, 330m (inc 2km by bike)
Brae Fell was next in the Northern Fells - due to a mental aberration it had been 'missed' previously!
12.5km, 600m (inc 6km by bike)
Finally Lank Rigg in the Western Fells. Darnkness, horrible weather, fatigue and recently felled forestry combined to leaving Grike for another time!

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
