Overview

We start at Loftus Hill car park in Sedbergh. We walk up Howgill Lane to near Height of Winder, and then on the path to Winder. After that we follow the main path past Arant Haw, and Brant Fell to the Calf. We then return back along the Dales Highway into Sedbergh. If the weather is reasonable, on the way back we will take a detour to Sickers Fell and Crook. Paths are well defined but the hills are very exposed and so there can be alot of weather. A drink will be had at the Black Bull.
