About this route

The final leg of the Bob Graham Round, 18.2km from Honister Pass over Dale Head, Hindscarth and Robinson then the run-in to Keswick Moot Hall, with 723m of climb.

Hazards & notes

Robinson's western descent is rocky and stepped, awkward in mist or wet. The long road run-in to Keswick is hard on tired legs, and as the final Bob Graham leg it is usually tackled with heavy fatigue.
