Overview

We start the walk from Beck Wythop (off the A66). We will go through Wythop Woods, then along the road to Eskin. Up onto Ling Fell, hoping for a good view. We drop down onto the Corpse path, then onward to Dodd Crag and to Sale Fell. The descent of the fell is via Lothwaite, picking up the path back to the cars.
