An 11km walk, taken from Lakeland walker, on a blowy day.Route: leaving the car at the Felldyke car park south of Lamplugh and continuing south up hill on the road for 1km. Beyond Knock Murton, taking a wide forestry track east, parallel to a raised disused railway line. At the entrance to the forest leaving the track to take a narrow path to the right between the trees and a fence, after a while gently rising. On a saddle, getting a view of the return path 20m to the north. Climbing steeply to the summit of Low Pen and then rising gently to High Pen. Then following the obvious route next to a fence round to the summit of Blake Fell in increasing wind. Descending and then quickly climbing to the top of to Sharp Knott before back-tracking and taking a very steep downward path north to meet a forestry track through a scrubby area of recently felled trees. Following this round the hillside for 3km under High Pen and Low Pen and then descending diagonally right on a narrow path to reach the track by Cogra Moss to the car park.
Conditions: cloudy and grey with a stiff wind.
Pub: the Punch Bowl, High Broughton, for Coniston Brewery Special Oatmeal Stout and Weetwood Southern Cross.
