A circular route over boggy ground starting at Rosthwaite. Along the valley track past the Stonethwaite, up Greenup Gill, before branching off to the right for Eagle Crag. Then along the ridge to Sergeant's Crag and up the small track to the right of Long Crag, then traversing above it to Greenup Edge. North along the Central Fells ridge over Ullscarf, and down by Standing Crag. Then across very boggy ground (wet feet) parallel to the fence over Watendlath Fell to Shivery Knott. Then a beeline for Armboth Fell, visiting both the Wainwright and Birkett tops. Then up another marshy track over High Tove, and back to Rosthwaite via Watendlath. 22km with 1000m ascent in 7h 40m.silverwolf_alan26/08/2023
An excellent day to pick up 5 Birketts and a Fellranger from Armboth car park. Up the good path to High Tove, then very easy (though wet) along the fence to Middle Crag, Shivery Knott and Watendlath Fell. Armboth Fell easy to locate, also Fisher Crag with access over forest fence. Easy descent by forest track.BURGESS09/07/2023
