Description

Big day requiring quite a lot of nav at the far end to cross off piste to link paths up. Horrendous weather which turned worse than forecast.the individual takes part in the planning and leadership
- navigation skills are required away from marked paths - Linking up tracks in the gloom
- experience must be in terrain and weather comparable to that found in UK and Irish hills
- knowledge is increased and skills practised - Nav skills
- attention is paid to safety - Long day and slippery rock in places.
- five hours or more journey time
- adverse conditions may be encountered - Torrential rain and near continual clag from Loadpot Hill onwards.
- ascent of a substantial peak would normally be included in the day - Eastern Martindale Fells.

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
