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
Fell walk with a mixed ability of 7 adults. Walk from Mardale Head onto High Street via Riggindale Ridge, moderate wind, snowing and low cloud for part of walk. Following a light lunch on High Street via Small Water Tarn.
