Terrain Overview
Walk Overview
The walk starts from the far side of Ullswater at Howtown. There are several car
parking spaces at St Peters Church. Fine ridge walking after Wether Hill.
St Peters Church at Martindale is the start point for this walk
Literally straight across the road from the Church the grass path that
leads directly to the top of Hallin Fell
The Nab and Beda Fell from the path up to Hallin Fell
After a gentle 20 minute climb, Ste reaches the summit of Hallin Fell
with its impressive summit cairn
Looking North down the length of Ullswater towards Pooley Bridge
The Ullswater steamer
Looking South towards Helvellyn. From the summit follow the path back down
to the Church to pick up the track to Steel Knotts
The Boredale Valley
The Bannerdale Valley
The climb to Steel Knotts starts from a path that runs up the side of the Church
and climbs very steeply
Looking back to Hallin Fell and the grass path that you have just come down

We then set off for Wether Hill which initially takes in the minor summit
of Brownthwaite Crag. The wall is a good guide
Looking back from the steep drop down off Steel Knotts on the way to Wether Hill
Looking North to a distant Blencathra
The old ruined hut at the head of the Fusedale valley, indicates the turning point
to reach the ridge line above
Once the ridge line is reached, head due North on a very good track
to the summit of Wether Hill
From Wether Hill another good path leads on to Loadpot Hill
The summit cairn on Loadpot Hill
Carrying on there is a choice of heading right to Arthurs Pike, or veering left
towards Bonscale Pike. We chose to go to Arthurs Pike first
Ste on the summit of Arthurs Pike
We had the pleasure of meeting these 3 amigos on the summit
We then double back on ourselves to visit Bonscale Pike, with its distinctive
fell side cairns

The return of the Ullswater Steamer to Howtown as we head down the
fell side back to the Church
Back down at St Peters Church
As we journeyed back through Pooley Bridge we came across these guys
getting ready for a spectacular aerial view balloon ride. Perfect !!
