12th October 2008 - Carrock Fell, High Pike and Knott

Walk Details

​Distance walked: 9.8 miles

Total ascent: 2431 ft

OS map used: OL5 - The English Lakes, North-eastern area & OL4 - The English Lakes, North-western area

Time taken: 6 hrs

Route description: Apronful of Stones-Carrock Fell-Round Knott-Miton Hill-High Pike-Great Lingy Hill-Miller Moss-Knott-Coomb Height-Mosedale-Apronful of Stones

I started this walk from the roadside at Apronful of Stones under the eastern slopes of Carrock Fell. My route up Carrock Fell was by the path of Rake Trod which takes advantage of a break in the crags on Carrock Fell's eastern face. After the climb and visiting Carrock Fell's summit I then made my way to High Pike. From High Pike I made my way across Great Lingy Hill and Miller Moss to the summit of Knott. The route back was by the east ridge of Knott, Coomb Height and a walk down Mosedale.
