Central Fells RoundUp nice and early again to tackle the central fells alongside Derwent Water. I parked on the road leading to Watendlath and walked up the road itself to Ashness Bridge.
From here I carried on up the road and eventually arrived at Suprise viewpoint; this was probably the nicest viewpoint of the day as the rest of the fells above were covered in clag.
From here I followed the path which runs alongside Watendlath beck up to the farm itself. This path is an outstanding walk in itself and I thoroughly enjoyed wandering along it.
From the small village of Watendlath I followed the pathway straight up the fellside and onto High Tove.
As there didn't seem to be any kind of path leading to it, I decided to just walk straight at Armboth Fell, and soon arrived at the summit. On Armboth Fell I think that Wainwright couldn't put it any better: "the flat desolate top is more like a quagmire, a tangle of swamp and heather and mosses, as is much of the surrounding territory."
From Armboth again there was no noticeable path, so I headed straight towards High Seat through the long grass and marsh... After what seemed like forever I eventually met the fenceline running up to High Seat, and finally found a path leading to the summit. Very wet. Very Marshy.
From High Seat I walked through more marshland to Bleaberry Fell, and from there to Walla Crag which rewarded me with more stunning views out over Derwent Water and Keswick,
I followed Cat Gill down the fell side, and the path led back to the car park.
