“The lakeside path via Kailpot Crag is delightful”

A Wainwright

From the church we descend to Sandwick, we will follow the footpath by Sandwick Bay and along the lake shore through Hallinhag Woods to Kailpot Crag, overlooking Ullswater before continuing along the path past Geordie's Crag to Waternook.

From Waternook we begin to climb to the south, climbing over The Rake where a path climbs the fellside to a cairn overlooking Howtown and then up to the summit of Hallin Fell.

We do not have a set minimum age for this event, however, you know your child best, therefore please bear in mind this is an open event of varying ages, if you are not confident your child can complete this event then hiring a private guide could be a more suitable option.

As this is an open event all under 18's must be accompanied by an adult.

We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.

However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.
