This walk offers good views across the Eastern fells of the Lake District and the chance to see England's only Golden Eagle (hence the early start!)
Route description:
The start is the car park at Mardale Head (Grid ref. NY 468107).
The first part of the walk is an easy stroll along the lakeshore, until we gradually ascend Kidsty Howes and Kidsty Pike.
From Kidsty Pike, we head onto High Street and Mardale Ill Bell to Nan Bield Pass. One final “push” takes us up to Harter Fell, from where it is an easy descent back down to the car park via Gatesgarth Pass.
Please carry plenty of waterproof/winter clothing, food and drink (no jeans). If the conditions are icy/snowy, crampons are advised.
An alternative walk will be offered if the weathergods refuse to cooperate.
