    Haystacks, Wainwright's favourite, from Gatesgarth Farm car park. Minor scrambling in a few short sections but it's not difficult. Splendid views from the summit. What is not so appealing is the way down (loose gravel wh...

    Gentle trot around Crummock Water with great views - one uphill section near end which shouldn’t be any problem (unless you hit it at midday on the hottest day of the year like me when it was a bit of an effort)

    High Crag via Sheepbone Rake, returning via Scale Beck. I struggled to find the upper path in Burntness Wood so best to ignore the initial section of this route. Easier to follow the shoreline towards Gatesgarth and ta...
