Walla Crag is a fantastic walk with some amazing views overlooking Derwent Water as well as the stunning Catbells, Skiddaw and the beautiful town of Keswick. Walla Crag standing at 379m isn’t one of the highest Wainwright’s but it is another one to tick off. This walk up to Walla Crag and Bleaberry Fell takes …

Because Castle Crag Fell has some of the most interesting features of them …

On another wet and windy day in the Lake District, we decided to walk the seemingly almighty Catbells itself. This Wainwright would take us up some steep climbing. It would also include a touch of scrambling. And best of all the views over the memorising Derwent Water and Keswick. And it all started at the …
