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
Shadowing day 2 of ML Training with Graham Uney Mountaineering. Today was about the group experiencing a QMD. The route took us from Mardale Head north onto the ridge heading up to Rough Crag. From there it was looking at group management over steep ground before reaching the summit of High St. My 3rd time up there but first time with views :-)
