Route: From Seathwaite past Tongue House to ascend via a gentle scramble on the north bank of Tarn Beck (a Mark Richards' route). Thence pathless up the ridge to Grey Friar; along a contouring path underneath Great Carrs and Swirl How to descend to Goat's Hawse, up Dow Crag, Buck Pike and Brown Pike and then down the Walna Scar Road.
Conditions: Some sun but a bitterly cold wind on the tops.
Pub: The Newfield Inn at Seathwaite for Dickie Doodle.
