"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.

Rating:

Recently completed ascent of Snowdon via Crib Goch under the guidance of Rick. Conditions were far from ideal for the knife edge crossing with heavy rain, 50m visibility and some wind, but Rick exuded confidence and competence and gave our small party of 3 plenty of opportunity to turn back if we felt the challenge to be to risky for us to safely undertake. The weather improved as we summitted in the midst of the annual fell running race to the top of Snowdon from Llanberis. All in all a great day out despite the poor weather and well organised by Lake District Walker with good communication and expert guiding.
