Another early morning start. We enjoyed the drive from Keswick through Newlands. We started our walk from the decent sized car park at Newlands Hause. A very liner walk and pretty quick too..A very linier walk and pretty quick too. a bit of heavy breathing to get to Knott Rigg and then some easy walking to Ard Crags.
