Overview

From the car park we take a good gravel path along the west then north shore of Loweswater until we come to a minor road, we walk along the road for about 100 mts before turning left onto Grange Lane  and starting our ascent onto the Fells. We will take a circular route taking in 3 of the summits, Fellbarrow (Wainwright), Low Fell (Wainwright) and Darling Fell, before descending back to the minor road and then returning via the lake shore path to the car park.
