It was a sunny day October day, I parked at Skelgill, and climbed up Skelgill Bank and on to Catbells. I walked up the ridge to Maiden Moor and made the diversion to the viewpoint of Blea Crag before walking on to the summit of High Spy, I descended to Dalehead Tarn and climbed up to the summit of Dale Head. I walked along Hindscarth Edge and over to the summit of Hindscarth, the dropped down to Littledale Edge before climbing up to the summit of Robinson. After descending to cross the vast wetness of Buttermere Moss, I made the interesting descent to Newlands Hause, crossed the road, and walked up the grassy ridge to the summit of Knott Rigg, and walked along the ridge to the summit of Ard Crags. I descend on the footpath down Aikin Knott and when the path disappeared I found my way down to Rigg Beck, and crossed it to follow the path back down to the road. I turned left and walked along the road towards Rowling End farm, there is a footpath that is always wet and muddy that goes across to Ghyll Bank, and another better path that takes you back to Skelgill.
