Car parking: car park at the top of the village of Hartsop (honesty box, no fixed charge, just donations).

It is the responsibility of each walker to make sure they understand where to park. If you are not sure where the car parking/meeting point is, you must contact the walk leader at the latest the day before the walk. You should not rely on mobile phones or postcodes. There is often no mobile reception near walk meeting points and postcodes are for the nearest place nearby but should only serve as a guideline. Please allow plenty of time to find a parking space so that walks can start promptly.
Description:
From Hartsop village car park, it’s a short climb up along the large track to Hayeswater. At NY427127 we will cross Hayeswater Gill at the footbridge and begin our ascent towards the summit of Knott, but after about 190m of ascent, the footpath divides and we will head left (in a north-west direction) towards Satura Crag. AT NY422138, we will leave the main path and take a left, following a narrow meandering path through the grass to reach Brock Crags and lovely views towards Kirkstone Pass and over Ullswater. We then retrace our steps back to the main path at NY422138. Once we have rejoined the main path, we follow it to Angle Tarn where we will stop for lunch. Then once again, we leave the main path, it is then a short ascent to Angletarn Pikes. We then drop down from the summit to rejoin the main path which will take us to Boredale Hause at NY407157. We take the track on our left, headed down towards Hartsop village. At NY406141, the path divides. We will take the higher of the 2 footbridges and follow the upper path back to the top of the village of Hartsop and the car park.
