Event Description

"This is Rannerdale Knotts, a mountain in miniature, and a proud one. Not even Gable has witnessed a real battle! And, what's more, our side won!!"

A Wainwright

The lowly ridge of Rannerdale Knotts rises above Buttermere and Crummock Water, enclosing the picturesque valley of Rannerdale from the main valley, making a fine low ridge, connected to the foot of the Whiteless Pike ridge just above the village of Buttermere.

Summits included on this route:

Rannerdale Knotts	355 metres / 1165 feet

The Rannerdale Valley was the setting for a historic battle, where Norman invaders were ambushed and repelled by the English. Rannerdale is now known as the Bluebell Valley, each year in sprint the valley is carpeted with bluebells, visible from the surrounding summits.

From Cinderdale Common we will follow the path climbing gently into the Rannerdale Valley, and follow the path through the fields of bluebells, crossing Squat Beck and climbing the slopes to the head of the valley climbing onto Low Bank, a grassy ridge leading to the summit of Rannerdale Knotts, a fine viewpoint over Crummock Water.

A good path descends the steep slope at the northern end of Rannerdale Knotts to descend to Hause Point, and the path back through the bluebells to Cinderdale Common.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.
