Route: leaving the car at the telephone box near the Kirkstile Inn and running past the pub to pick up the track towards Mosedale and Mellbreak and following this up hill towards Mosedale (rather than taking the short cut left hand turn) and then back left along a level grassy path, descending to to Highpark Farm. Along grassy tracks towards the lake but turning left to circuit a mound clockwise and taking a short board walk and grassy track to reach the lake shore further east. Then round the lake to the boat house and uphill into the woods swinging left and then turning right to take a wall side path eventually climbing Brackenthwaite How. Descending west on Roger's Steps to the National Trust car park and back along the road.
Conditions: windy with a threat of rain.
Pub: The Kirkstile Inn for Cumbrian Legendary Ales’ Loweswater Gold
