Parked at visitors centre, followed green trail until the point where we continue up to Lords Seat, along ridge line onto Broom Fell and onto Graystones. Went to various cairns as wasn't sure which was true summit. Descended via steep wall path down edge of Darling How Plantation, where felling and forestry work was occurring. Walked up road to Spout Force waterfall car park, following forest track to base of Whinlatter. Slight deviation from route getting onto Whinlatter as we lost the path, but re found it at the top, along ridge line and descended back into forest and to visitors centre. Managed to get back to visitors centre in time for cake and hot choc. | Ruth Mackay | 04/10/2021 |
