We leave the Walna Scar track to follow the footpath up to Brown Pike, then on to Buck Pike with a good view of Blind Tarn and finally we arrive at Dow Crag. We then head for Goat’s Hause and take the path down to Goat’s Water. We then follow that footpath back to the main Walna Scar track and all the way back into Coniston.
