10th June
Hopegill Head - Grassmoor - Whiteless Pike
Starting from Lanthwaite Farm, a fairly steep climb ( involving a tiny bit of a scramble ) brings us up to Whiteside (720m) and hopefully a dramatic ridge walk along to Hopegill Head (770)and possibly a short detour to Grizedale Pike (791)before dropping down to Coledale Hause and up onto Grassmoor (852)which should give good views over Crummock Water and Buttermere before winding back down along Whiteless Edge and Pike (660)towards Buttermere and a gentle finish along the shore of Crummock Water.
Distance : 15 Km/ 9.3 miles
Time : 6-7 hours
Grade : 3-4
Start : 9. 30am Lanthwaite Farm car park G.R. NY159 208. B5289 Buttermere road 3 miles south of Lorton. There are two more car parks about a mile further towards Buttermere.
Car Share : Low Wood Hotel at 8.30
