“The picture is a classic”
A Wainwright
A wonderful days walking on the lesser trodden fells to the south of the Coniston Group, taking in the grassy ridge of Walna Scar before climbing the shapely summit of Caw.
“The greatest motive for it's ascent being the superb view that it offers, south east and particularly west”
A Wainwright
From Torver we join the Walna Scar road that leads north towards the Old Man of Coniston, quickly opening up views of Coniston Water behind us. From the high point of the road we turn onto the rounded ridge leading to the summit of White Maiden.
From here we descend to the next col and wind our way round the crags forming the slopes of Caw, making our way to the summit with more fantastic views south over the bay and East over Grizedale Forest.
From Caw we descend south, walking through the woodland under The Knott before rejoining the road and making our way back to Torver.
Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.
