Starting in Rosthwaite, we ascend to Watendlath Tarn. We then follow Watendlath Beck north before descending to High Lodore Farm. We turn right beside the road for a short distance before picking up the path beside Comb Gill and on to the River Derwent which we cross using the Chinese bridge and follow the path across the valley to the road. After another short section of road walking through Manesty, we ascend onto the western slopes of the valley and follow the path south to Hollows Farm onwards through the campsite and around the foot of Castle Crag before recrossing the Derwent and returning via the farm track to our starting point.
