Hi, sorry, due to lack of time for a proper recce of the Caldbeck Fells, I am going to plump for an old favourite of mine. Meeting at the car park at the far end of Haweswater at 10am we climb Gatescarth Pass, turning right up to Harter Fell. From here we will drop down to the shelter at Nan Bield Pass, before continuing up to Mardale Ill Bell. There is now an optional extention to Thornthwaite Beacon and then onto High Street. Next stop will be High Raise, before finally cutting back to bag Kidsty Pike (where we will stop in the hope of sighting the Golden Eagle in the valley below) before descending via Kidsty Howes back to the shore of Haweswater and down to the car park.
For car share I suggest 8:40 meeting at Morrisons in Kendal for car share (I obviously won't be there). I would suggest going up to Shap and dropping down to the reservoir from there.
Leader: Helen (mob 07753 160831)
