Walk Overview
A largely uninspiring and easy fell walk from Blindcrake. Once out of the wooded area
its just a case of walking across grass to the highest point of the grazing lande
To the North West of Bassenthwaite Lake is a tiny Hamlet called Blindcrake
The walk starts from the single track road leading into the village where there
are a number of free parking places in the various laybys along the road
Follow the road towards the village and look out for a track appearing on the left
Just after a steel gate a track appears on the left which leads through a wooded area
Setting off though the woods. The path is initially boggy, but soon improves
Go through the wooden gate and keep left on the tree lined path
In no time at all you will reach a second hand gate which gives access to the open fellside
The walk to the top is as straightforward as it looks. Pick your own path. We tended
to aim for the dip at the right hand side
As you approach the stone wall, swing left up the gentle slope to the summit
Aopproaching the summit of Clints Crags
The crags of Clints Crags. A small pile of stones on the plateau indicates the summit
