About this route
A 50km round of the North Western Fells from George Fisher in Keswick, taking in the tops visible from Abraham's Cafe window, with around 3,389m of climb over ten fells.
Hazards & notes
A long, committing 50km day over rough and partly pathless North Western Fells with serious cumulative climb. Route-finding between the Newlands, Buttermere and Coledale groups is demanding in cloud, and there are steep, rocky descents off Robinson and Causey Pike.
