A 3.5km stroll on a still, autumnal day.Route: leaving the car by the side of the road at the entrance to Ling Fell near Eskin and climbing onto the fellside and uphill left to join a track rising gradually round the fell. At its eastmost point, turning sharp right on a gradually rising track heading anti-clockwise back round the fell. Following this, spurning two steeper paths left, until it ended in heather and only then, around 320m, turning left to the top. Then proceeding south-west to the wall and then downhill north-west across a slightly marshy patch before contouring right towards the corpse road and joining it to walk back round the north of the fell and down to the car.
Conditions: cloudy, misty and still
Pub: the Embleton Spa Hotel for Cumbrian Ales, Loweswater Gold.
