Route: leaving the car by the phone box just short of the Kirkstile Inn and running across a field on a footpath to cross the road at Foulsyke and heading north through woods to Pottergill. Walking very steeply uphill to reach the saddle just south of Low Fell. Then back and steeply down to Crabtree Beck and then south on a small path curving round the lower slopes of Darling Fell to join a rough track near a disused quarry. Back along the road to the car.
Conditions: at the start, a very cold wind. Cloudy.
Pub: the Kirkstile Inn for Cumbrian Legendary Ales, Loweswater Gold and American Invasion.
