Walk: Losterdale, Langden Intake, Trough Barn, River Brennand, Whitendale, Dunsop Head, Beatrix
Start Point: Lay-by near Langden Brook Grid Reference: Lay-by near Langden Brook
Distance: 10.6 mile Ascent: 2,660 feet
Time: 5.75 hours
Weather: Overcast but mild
Comments: A pleasant walk crossing the fells to link three valleys. On the route to Dunsop Head the peat bog erosion is quite severe in places. After a visit to the trig point the route descends gradually most of the way back to the car.

No snow here but a frozen pond

with snow on distant fells

Brennad Fell to the left and Middle Knoll to the right - my route lies between the two

There is still a little snow around

to Dunsop Head . . .

which has an impressive signpost

A greylag goose . . .

has a lot to say for itself!

I think the trig point . . .

needs a coat of paint
