Route Map

Weather: Rain, rain (go away!)

Today's walk takes in a circuit of Torver High Common and is truncated from what I originally planned due to the rather inclement weather. As it rained from start to finish, there are no promised great views of the Coniston Fells or the Sca Fells, but there are some nice water shots - seeing as there was so much of it around!

An old afforested lane through High Torver Park.

Ash Gill Beck and old spoil heaps.

The shapely peak of High Pike Haw. In the foreground is an ancient cairn on Bleaberry Haws which is marked on the map. It consists of a circular hollow approximately 1.5 metres in diameter and 0.5 metres deep, surrounded by stones. This area yields much evidence of a Bronze Age settlement. 

Bleaberry Haws from the summit of High Pike Haws. The summit of Bleaberry Haws is topped with a hoary old cairn, also marked on the map in antiquarian lettering. I think Bleaberry Haws is another Birkett omission.

A rocky gulley en-route to White Maiden.

Two summit cairns in the mist; White Maiden on the left, White Pike on the right.

The force of Torver Beck under Cove Bridge...

...and the thunder of the waterfall further downstream.

The damp sign at Torver...it just about sums up the day!
