There's an easy walk from Hartsop along Pasture Bottom to start, then quite a steep ascent to Threshthwaite Mouth, onto Thornthwaite Crag, and finally up to High Street. Hopefully there will be good weather and wonderful views for the walk along the top, overlooking Hayeswater. We leave High Street at the Straits of Riggindale, walk over or round The Knott, then descend gently to Angle Tarn. Another lovely ridge takes us to Boredale Hause and views of Ullswater. The initial descent from there is quite steep but soon becomes an easy walk back to the car along the valley bottom.
Start: 10am at car park north of Brothers Water, grid ref NY 403134
Car share: suggest 9:30am at Low Wood but I won't be there
Distance: approx 10 miles
Total ascent: around 3600ft
Grade: 3/4 (not a difficult walk under foot though quite long)
Time: I 'recced' this walk in just over 4.5 hrs but with a group it's likely to take 5.5-6 hrs.

Rob and Alex are planning to wild camp at Angle Tarn on Sunday night (weather permitting) Meet in Patterdale, park opposite the White Lion Pub in layby or carpark.
We can have a meal in the pub early about 6pm then walk up to Angle Tarn about 1 hour to wild camp. Then head back down Monday morning.
