The ridge climbing south from Garburn Pass, between Troutbeck and Kentmere offers a good shorter walk, over grassy slopes with outstanding views throughout. the gentle grassy slopes on this section of the ridge make a great shorter days walk well away from the hustle and bustle in other parts of the Lake District. |

| "The crowded skyline in the west arrests the attention, with the vertical profile of Scafell above Mickledore prominent in the scene. Langdale Pikes are well seen between and below Great End and Great Gable. There is a very extensive and beautiful prospect southwards from the far Pennines round to Morecambe Bay and Black Combe." |

From Troutbeck we will climb to the Garburn Road, the ancient track climbing to Garburn Pass. When the track reaches Garburn Nook, the summit of Garburn Pass we will turn off the track to the south and follow the wall along the ridge. A short walk from the wall will bring us to the summit of Sallows, a fine viewpoint over much of Lakeland and south towards Morecambe Bay. After returning to the wall we will follow the ridge south to the summit of Sour Howes. From Sour Howes we will follow the ridge to the south west, descending over the grassy slopes back down to the Garburn Road and back to Troutbeck. Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above. |
