I really enjoyed this trail at times, but there is NO signage and in parts it's quite hard to navigate. non the less you get a good journey through the lakes.

Really enjoyed this circuit route around quieter / less trodden parts of the Lake District. Everyday there were sections when I didn’t see anyone for hours. It took me 10 days (27/04/24 - 06/05/24) to complete this route anti-clockwise, including a forced zero on day 3 due to weather. Anyone who loves mountain walks will sure find this little gem of a walk delightful. NOTES; 1- No public right of way straight up from Walloway Farm to Great Mell Fell summit, instead walk further down the road and yo-yo. 2- In South Lakeland between Whitebeck and Moss, The Cockmoss Bridge is closed for maintenance 18/01/24 - 07/08/24. The only alternative is A5074/C5047. 3- To reduce road walking and pubs/shops closed on the days I passed by I skipped the villages of Hesket Newmarket, Loweswater, Ennerdale Bridge, Bootle and Bampton.
