Overview

A lovely walk from Loweswater taking in the Wainwright fells Burnbank Fell, Blake Fell and Gavel Fell returning alongside Loweswater. A steep climb up to Burnbank Fell and then some undulations to the other two peaks. Boggy in places, good views of the Western fells. Walk will be at a moderate place (slow up the steepest hills!).
