Hiking

Indeed not as busy as some of the surrounding peaks and comes with great views of Blencathra and Sharp Edge. The walk over the ridge towards Mungrisdale comes with great views over the surrounding areas and the typical Lake District fields and farms. The way down to Mungrisdale is quite steep and somewhat slippery in places - only attempt if you are sure-footed!

Hiking

A lovely Wainwright with great views of the Blencathra group. Nice views back at the imposing bulk of Blencathra itself.
