Overview

We'll take a lovely circuit around the Silver How area taking in Spedding Crag, Megs Gill, Swinescar Hause and overlooking Blindtarn Moss on the descent.  Along the way (hopefully) there will be breathtaking views into the Great Langdale valley. The footpath around Megs Gill is overlooking quite a deep gorge and there is a short rocky section once the gill is crossed. However, this can be avoided if preferred. The walk will be on rocky and grassy paths.
