Event Description

"A simple and enjoyable walk, which ought to be, but isn't a popular amble for Cockermouth folk."

A. Wainwright

The wonderful valley of Wythop, along with the two fells that enclose it, Sale Fell and Ling Fell, a circuit of these fells and exploration of the Wythop Valley makes an enjoyable shorter days walking.

The two fells offer ever changing views of the surrounding countryside, being on the north western edge of the Lake District the offer a good view over the Solway Coast to Scotland.

From the eastern slopes of Sale Fell good views of Skiddaw and Bassenthwate Lake will be seen to best advantage.

Summits included on this route:

Sale Fell	359 metres/1178 feet
Ling Fell	373 metres/1224 feet

"One very delightful feature of Wythop Wood is the presence of the lovely little roe deer, shyest of creatures. The new plantations are fenced off against them, but they have freedom to roam in the older woodlands."

A. Wainwright

From Brumston Bridge in the Wythop Valley we will climb the western slopes of Sale Fell, above Dodd Crag to the grassy slopes of Sale Fell and up to the summit.

A walk east along the grassy summit of Sale Fell brings us over Rivings to Lothwaite with it's dramatic views east over Wythop Woods to Skiddaw and Bassenthwaite Lake.

A short descent south will bring us down to the head of the Wythop Valley. We will follow the track west to Chapel Wood and the remains of the ruined Wythop Church near Kelswick. A short walk across the valley will bring us to the Old Scales track which we will follow to the farm of Eskin.

A path leads through a gate at Eskin onto the lower slopes of Ling Fell, we will follow the Corpse Road, through gorse and heather covered slopes to climb to the scenic summit of Ling Fell.

A short descent south or east from Ling Fell will bring us down onto the track returning to the Wythop Valley and the short walk back to Brumstone Bridge.

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