"being itself of striking appearance, gaunt, steep-sided, a pyramid of tumbled boulders and scree, a desert abandoned to nature."

A Wainwright

A pretty top well off the beaten track, Blake Fell, the highest of the Loweswater Fells, is the culmination of a fine days walking, a circuit of te Loweswater Fells from either Loweswater to the north of Cogra Moss to the west.

The extensive views eastwards form the summit are magnificent stretching as far east as the Helvellyn range.

The ascent from Loweswater is a wonderfl walk, and a circuit of Burnbank Fell, Blake Fell and Gavel Fell combined with the paths either through or above Holme Wood is a wonderful short days walking.

The northeastern spur of Carling Knott, a short detour from the summit gives wonderful views over Loweswater below.

Buttermere to Braithwaite, Wednesday 4th May 2016. Accompanied by Ross who is not only the "Carlsberg Lager" of guides (probably the finest guide in the world) but also the nicest person you could ask to meet! The gradients on this walk are wicked but Ross allowed it all to go at my pace, which can best be described as moderate-to-slow. We varied the route a bit, not doing Grasmoor or Hopegill Head (too steep for me) but the views from Whiteless Pike and Grisedale Pike were awesome. A perfect day's walking. And if you should come across my car keys (lost somewhere up there - d'oh) please hand them in to TLDW for me. Thanks! Steve Edwards
