"An enjoyable climb, full of interest all the way."

A Wainwright

Lords Seat, the highest summit of the Whinlatter Fells, although the summit does not have quite as good a view as some of it's satellite summits there is a good 360 degree panorama from the summit.

Several interesting and varied routes climb to the summit of Lords Seat, from the south a circuit of Aiken Beck can be made traversing all the Whinlatter Fells, from the east several good routes can be found climbing from Thornthwaite through the forests or via the wonderful summit of Barf with it's stunning views over Bassenthwaite Lake and Skiddaw. A good short walk can be made from Whinlatter Pass, climbing through the forestry land to the open land around the summit.

John. Thanks once again for a great day out. The weather was a challenge at times and I'm sure my own personal lack of fitness gave Jack a bit to think about. He was excellent on the day. Like James before, a credit to you to pick such good young mountain leaders. Very safe. Attentive. Prepared. Great local knowledge. I have enjoyed hiking to Scafell twice in the last 6 weeks, with my daughter and my fiancée TLDW. Successful days thanks to two very good guides and your company. I would not want to tackle SP without them! We will be back this year. I spoke to Jack about an idea for a trip with a group of grads from my company. Will be in touch. Thanks to you and Lyanda personally from me for looking after us. Regards. Dan
