A walk from the car park at the Thirlmere dam to Raven Crag. From there I visited the Castle Crag fort and then followed a forest track down to Shoulthwaite Farm. I then made my way around the side of High Rigg to the St. John's in the Vale church and then up onto High Rigg itself. I made my way along High Rigg down to the Keswick-Windermere road. I then went up Great How before returning to the car park at the Thirlmere dam.
