Walk Overview
A walk that can be made as easy or hard as you wish dependant on the chosen
route of ascent. This blog describes the easiest way up to a small summit with
wonderful views
The walk starts at the free car park on Fell Foot Brow near to the start of
the walk up to Gummers How. There is probably space for around 30 cars
Looking to the Coniston Fells from the Car park
