A fairly strenuous walk with an immediate direct steep ascent to the summit. The routegoes up some rough and rocky ground. For those who want to do some easy scrambling Hall's Fell provides a great opportunity. Wainwright wrote 'this route is positively the finest way to any mountain top in the district'. For those who do not wish to scramble a lower path can be taken without losing any enjoyment. A reasonable level of fitness is required to enjoy your day out. Walking boots essential. A suggested kit will be provided on booking.
Friday 21st May - All women are welcome. Well behaved dogs controlled by female owners welcome
Sunday 23rd May - Children and young people under 14years with well behaved female parent welcome.
