Just a 5 hour drive to get here, including negotiating hardknott pass. Parking up about 1km from the Woolpack Inn, we started off on the track at the back of the car park. This turned out to be a very rugged and energy sapping route with an often difficult path ahead to see.

I did very little research on this hike. it was squeezed in on our final day in the lakes. This afterthought hike turned out to be fantastic. Plenty of drama, epic 360 summit views and we didn't see anybody until the end!
