Description: From Hartsop we'll head up towards Hayeswater and then The Knott. Remaining at altitude we continue on to High Street, Thornthwaite Beacon and then Gray Crag before dropping down steeply to make our way back to Hartsop. This route gives the opportunity to stay at altitude (above 700m) for a large portion of the walk. On a clear day there are some great views.
Grade: Strenuous
High Point: High Street summit (828m)
Distance: Approx. 6.5 miles
Meet Time: 9.15 am
Start Time: 9.30 am
Time: Approx. 4 to 5 hours (We should be down well before dark but please bring a torch in case we are delayed for any reason)
Start / Finish and Car Parking: Hartsop village car park NY410130 (go up through the village and the car park is right at the top).
Leader: Dave
Please let Dave know in advance by 6.00 pm on Saturday if you are coming on this walk (text 07767 416090).
Notes: If conditions are wintry please be mindful of what you may need to stay safe/comfortable and come prepared. The descent from Gray Crag is steep in places and will be slippery if wet or icy so Microspikes or similar would be useful.
The leader reserves the right to modify or cancel the walk
