Waypoints

S/E : km 0 - alt. 254 m

2 : km 0.2 - alt. 247 m - Follow the obvious track that runs alongside Haweswater. The track undulates a little bit, but doesn't stray too far from the shoreline.
3 : km 6.12 - alt. 257 m - Just before crossing Measland Beck, take an unsigned track running up through the undergrowth that roughly follows the beck.
4 : km 6.49 - alt. 333 m - Go through the fence into open fell. Follow the grassy track uphill towards Measand End.
5 : km 7.32 - alt. 500 m - Follow the obvious grassy track over the fell to the summit of Low Raise.
6 : km 10.12 - alt. 750 m - Continue along the grassy track to the rocky summit of High Raise.
7 : km 11.02 - alt. 781 m - Head south of the summit of High Raise to the col with Kidsty Pike, then follow the track that contours along the hillside to Kidsty Pike's summit.
8 : km 11.96 - alt. 756 m - Follow the obvious track eastwards off Kidsty Pike's summit.
9 : km 13.51 - alt. 469 m - Just before the last crag, head down into the valley to the right on a track. It is a little steep at first, but soon levels out onto easier terrain and an obvious track.

Other walks in the area

Angle Tarn and Rest Dodd

Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)

A steady climb up to Angle Tarn from Hartsop via Boredale Hause followed by a stroll along a ridge with great views over to Helvellyn then up to Rest Dodd dropping down to Hayeswater and back to the car park.

Hartsop Dodd, Stony Cove Pike and Kirkstone Pass from Hartsop

Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)

This Lake District hike includes two Wainwrights and a famous Lakeland Pass so is never short of interest. The first part of the walk involves a steep ascent but this is not as bad as it looks. Once the summit of Hartsop Dodd is reached the going is relatively easy and straightforward. The second Wainwright of Stony Cove Pike is soon reached followed by the descent to Kirkstone Pass and Brothers Water.

A greater Hayeswater Round

Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)

A walk with the best views of both Southern and Northern Lakeland and Roman history.

Deepdale circular

Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)

A good climb up to Fairfield for all round views and a stretch for the legs

YHA hopping in the Lake District - YHA Patterdale to YHA Grasmere

Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)

Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 3 Wainwrights, 1 tarn and 1 pub

YHA hopping in The Lake District - YHA Patterdale to YHA Keswick

Departure from Patterdale (Westmorland and Furness)

The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. Funny how they were created "to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, particularly by providing hostels or other simple accommodation for them on their travels". Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 8 Wainwrights, 2 lakes, 1 tarn and 1 pub
