the
walk started at Haweswater reservoir at the car park at the
southern tip. the reason we picked this was because it was
close to the motorway
allthough it
looks dull in the picture it was a good and not to hot for back
packing |
|
 |
we started by walking clockwise around Haweswater a couple of Km.
past the path to
Rough Crag and the RSPB hide for viewing the crag. It is the
only place south of Scotland where golden eagles nest |

then followed the "coast to coast" long distance path over our first
peak which was Kidsty Pike |

our next peak was the short distance to
"The Knott" |
|

we then passed
several crags and minor peaks on the long walk down to Angle Tarn |
|
|
 |
continuing in a north-west direction
to the small village of Rooking
and down to Patterdale
 |

 |
cross the road and the long ascent of St. Sunday crag with an easy
start though some fields |

the summit of
St. Sunday is 841 meters
which is a long pull with over 700 meters
of ascent from Patterdale
as the pictures both above and below show |
