Our walk starts on Blakeley Raise above Ennerdale Bridge, we parked by the road just past  Kiniside Stone Circle  the footpath to Cragg Fell is about 100 yards along the road. The wooden signpost is on the left leading towards a gate and the plantation, following the track through the trees and up the fell till we reached a stile on the left hand side and a footpath going up to the first summit of the day.  The summit cairn is accompanied by a shelter, very welcome on the day, visibility was low and the wind was picking up. We took advantage and stopped for dinner. The next summit lies in front overlooking Ennerdale water, we set off along the footpath as the clouds came down and the enevitable soaking followed. We arrived at Cragg Fell before the clouds had left giving just brief glimpses of the fells and water, we waiting just past the cairn weighing up our options. The path goes right from the summit leading down the fell...

Leave the car park via the gate and follow the path for a mile up the fell leading to Hayeswater, nestling between The Knott to the west and Grey Cragg to the east. The climb continues till you cross the path coming from The Knott heading east towards Angle Tarn where we turn left. After 100 yards or so we turn right climbing again towards the top of Rest Dodd.

Follow the path up past the school and towards the fell. The veiws rewarding the climb come quickly with Whernside and Ingleborough, the two other fells in the Yorshire Three Peaks, being visible. Continuing up the fell. following the stone wall on your left hand side, till you reach the Penine Way where you turn left towards the summit.  The climb now really starts, your path may not be obvious but unfolds as you follow it up the crag, some scrambling may be required but if you managed the stiles so far you'll not be troubled by the crag. It's a short walk to the trig point where there's also a shelter built into the wall.  The return route leads away from the stile on the other side of the ...
