Lamplugh – Owsen Fell (452) – Burnbank Fell (453) – Loweswater End on Carling Knott (454) – Carling Knott (455) –Blake Fell (456) – Sharp Knott (457) – High Hows (Lamplugh) (458) – Lamplugh

Distance: 6.7 miles     Total Ascent: 812 metres     Time Taken: 3 hours

Weather: Dull with sunny intervals. 5°.

There was sunshine around the periphery of the Lakes today, but all the fells seemed to be under cloud. I had a walk in the far north-west, above Loweswater which gave some fine views for some quite lowly tops. Not all is friendly for walkers in this area though, as you will see…
