Given the combination of a fantastic weather forecast and the bank holiday weekend, we decided to explore the Eastern most part of the Lake District which is often neglected by tourists. Yesterday was spent around the shores of Haweswater, a reservoir created to serve Manchester back in the 1930’s which involved flooding the village of Mardale Green. Today we headed to the hills and completed a 17km circular walk which took in the 7 Wainwrights of Harter Fell, Mardale III Bell, High Street, The Knott, Rampsgill Head, High Raise and Kidsty Pike. Good paths, bright blue skies and temperatures in the 20’s made for a great day out!
