The first route on the third day of a week in the North
Western Fells of the Lake District. We based ourselves in Lorton in the campsite
of The Wheatsheaf Inn, a convenient location to reach all 29 of these hills.
After yesterdays long day we planned two
shorter routes to avoid tiring the dogs too much in the heat of the day. This is
the first simple walk to take in Whinlatter. We started at the Forest Park and I
then returned to the car at Spout Force as I needed one or two more reference
photos from that area.
