Here is a walk I did last month that coincides in places with Colgreg's recent expedition into Lakeland's far eastern fells (from Martindale). This walk starts from a different valley and makes an unfrequented approach to the hills. I thought it might be interesting to compare and contrast the two routes.

Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
