I started from a layby near Leck Fell House, which is 3 miles down a narrow lane from Cowan Bridge on the A65.From here I headed straight up the hill to the Three Men of Gragareth.
There's a boggy path from the Three Men which goes up to the trig point at the summit.
- Summit of Gragareth
The next few miles were following a wall along the ridge to the summits of Great Coum and Crag Hill.The weather today was good but it was raining yesterday and the ground was wet.The path was boggy and difficult in places.It was useful to have a walking pole so I could poke the ground before standing on it.

- Crag Hill summit
After Crag Hill the route continues along the fence for a while, and then the indistinct path goes down to the left, eventually joining another fence further down hill.Then there's a left turn to follow a wall heading south towards Leck Fell House which you can see in the distance.
This wall goes down to a bridge over Ease Gill.

You then go over a stile and down toward the river bed,where you can see a cave with a waterfall.
The next half mile is along the dry river bed,
and then there's a fence/wall which rises steeply from the river and leads back up to Leck Fell House.
If you don't mind getting wet it's an enjoyable walk with some good views.
