24th January 2009 - Arthur's Pike, Bonscale Pike and Loadpot Hill

Walk Details

​Distance walked: 10.8 miles

Total ascent: 2149 ft

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

Time taken: 6 hrs

Route description: Howtown-Auterstone-Barton Fell-Arthur's Pike-Bonscale Pike-Loadpot Hill-Barton Fell-Auterstone-Howtown

A snowy walk in the far eastern fells.

From Howtown I took the path that runs along the fellside above Ullswater and below Bonscale Pike and Arthur's Pike. After passing the woodland of Barton Park I then made my way up Barton Fell to reach the summit of Arthur's Pike. From Arthur's Pike I then visited the summit of Bonscale Pike before making my way to the summit of Loadpot Hill. My route back was north down Barton Fell and back along the path above Ullswater.
