Description: The walk starts at the carpark specified. We walk out the front of the carpark and turn left. It is then a short walk along the road side to a right turning bend. At this point we join the path on the left hand side which heads up Muncaster Fell. The path we will follow is named fell lane. We will pass tarn wood on our right and then Muncaster tarn on our left. Then ascend and pass hooker crag on our left which represents the highest point of our assent. We will then continue for another mile until we reach the tree line named Ross’s Camp. After a short rest if required we will then descend the same way back to Muncaster for some well earned grub. Please book your tickets top the Sausage festival in advance if you wish to attend. It is not known whether tickets will be available on the day.
