The Route:
From Grasmere we will climb to the summit of Silver How, a wonderful viewpoint above Grasmere, we will continue to climb this ridge over Blea Rigg to the summit of Sergeant Man, a small rocky outcrop on the side of High Raise with views over to the Langdale Pikes and Stickle Tarn.
We will walk the short distance from Sergeant Man to the summit of High Raise, a great viewpoint in the centre of the Lake District with a stunning panorama of almost all the Lakeland Fells.

A short walk will bring us onto the path that descends over Tarn Crag, a rocky summit with views over Grasmere and down to Easdale Tarn. The descent from Tarn Crag will bring us down to Easdale Tarn and the path alongside Sour Milk Gill, a procession of waterfalls descending into the Easdale valley where we will follow the track back to Grasmere.

Directions:
Grasmere can easily be found off the A591 between Ambleside and Keswick. Follow the signs into the village and park in one of the many car parks, we will meet in the centre of the village on the corner of Easdale Road, opposite Sam Reid’s Bookshop.
