| Walk: | Sadgill, Great Howe, Grey Crag, Harrop Pike, Tarn Crag, Sadgill | ||
| Start Point: | Sadgill | Grid Ref: | NY 483 057 |
| Distance: | 7 miles | Ascent: | 1,750 feet |
| Weather: | Rolling mist clearing in the afternoon | ||
| Accompanied by: |
Marie, Andrea, Gill and Shep, led by me |
||
| Comments: | The direct route onto Great Howe was the best way I have taken onto this fell. Grey Crag is then a gradual climb, followed by an easy stroll to Harrop Pike. Another climb leads up to Tarn Crag and then a gradual descent leads to Brownhowe Bottom. The Longsleddale track is always rather tedious. | ||
