Terrain Overview
Walk Overview
A very simple and straightforward walk from Askham village centre. We were
treated to the most spectacular cloud inversion on top. A lovely walk
The car parked freely in Askham village
Walking due West out of the village towards the Lowther Estate
Approaching the Lowther Estate. Note well - you cant park past the cattle grid
Through the gate and take the right hand fork
Setting off down the stone track
The path leads to a gate in an intake wall
Through the gate and the track leads towards a plantation
Out of the fog and heading towards a copse. With clearing skies
we were hopeful of another cloud inversion
Att the end of the copse, veer right just past the wall
There are multiple ways to the summit, we took the path branching off right
Having branched off right from the main track we then very quickly turn left
to head towards the summit
The left hand track leading to the summit
Very soon, the summit cairn appears

And then, it started, a wonderful cloud inversion
Blencathra appears through the mist
Just fantastic to be here
