Event Description

“It has all the markings of a great mountain”

A Wainwright

An easy way to ascend Ullscarf, the most central fell in the Lake District and a great viewpoint over much of Lakeland.

Summits included on this route:
Ullscarf726 metres / 2382 feet
Great Crag440 metres / 1444 feet

“This, although a natural and obvious line of approach, passes through territory little frequented by walkers”

A Wainwright

From Watendlath Farm we will follow the bridleway climbing above Bleatarn Gill by Robinbank Crag. The steady climb takes us above Blea Tarn to meet the fenceline along the ridge. Here we turn south following the fenceline as it climbs by Standing Crag eventually to the grassy summit of Ullscarf.

From Ullscarf we follow the fence to the north turning off to follow the ridge over Coldbarrow Fell, the heathery northern ridge of Ullscarf. High Saddle and Low Saddle are crossed before the descent steepens a little taking us down towards Dock Tarn.

From Dock Tarn we will take the path to the summit of Great Crag.

The path back to Watendlath from Great Crag is a little boggy underfoot in places but we're soon over this and back into Watendlath.

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

What happens if the weather is bad?

Question:

What happens if the weather is bad?

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Thursday, 12 October 2017
We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Question:

Are dogs allowed on this walk?

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Thursday, 21 September 2017

Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.

However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.
