Waypoints
- S/E : km 0 - alt. 253 m
- 1 : km 0.07 - alt. 255 m - From the offroad/roadside parking take an obvious grassy track that roughly follows the direction of the beck upstream.
- 2 : km 0.67 - alt. 315 m - Follow the obvious grassy track uphill
- 3 : km 2.02 - alt. 617 m - On reaching the rocky Carrock fell summit take the vague track that goes up through the rocks to the summit cairn.
- 4 : km 2.25 - alt. 657 m - Descend on the same track used for ascent to the summit. Follow an obvious grassy/boggy track westwards.
- 5 : km 2.87 - alt. 599 m - You may need to divert off the track for 50 metres or so to tick Round Knott. Once ticked, return and continue to the westward bound track.
- 6 : km 3.56 - alt. 602 m - Continue westwards on the grassy track past the cairn of Milton Hill.
- 7 : km 4.47 - alt. 593 m - Branch away from the main track on a grassy track heading for Drygill Head. I found I had to divert off this track after a while to get to the summit. You may want to use a gps to locate the actual summit.
- 8 : km 4.8 - alt. 620 m - Head north westwards towards Hare Stones. I did find a track for a while but you may end up walking over trackless fell.
- 9 : km 5.15 - alt. 623 m - On reaching the wide and obvious Cumbria Way, turn left and head towards Lingy Hut.
- 10 : km 6.08 - alt. 571 m - Continue along the track past Lingy Hut.
- 11 : km 6.43 - alt. 560 m - Continue across the beck and then set a bearing across trackless fell to Coomb Height. There is a small cairn on Coomb Height.
- 12 : km 7.13 - alt. 623 m - Head westwards on a grassy track from Coomb Height. The track bends around to a northwest direction.
- 13 : km 8.09 - alt. 599 m - Cross a small beck and make a small ascent to Little Lingy Hill. It isn't much of a hill (more of an undulation). You may want to use a gps to confirm you've reached the top.
- 14 : km 8.36 - alt. 592 m - Follow a vague grassy/heathery path towards Miller Moss. Miller Moss has a visibly large cairn on it.
- 15 : km 8.84 - alt. 600 m - Follow an obvious grassy/heathery track eastwards.
- 16 : km 9.18 - alt. 582 m - At the gulley (on the left), take the grassy/heathery track to the right. This bends around towards Great Lingy Hill.
- 17 : km 9.45 - alt. 610 m - There is a small cairn on Great Lingy Hill. You may want to use a gps to find the exact summit.
- 18 : km 9.53 - alt. 610 m - Continue along the grassy/heathery track to Hare Stones. There is a small cairn on Hare Stones. You may want to use a gps to confirm the summit.
- 19 : km 10.18 - alt. 625 m - Head eastwards a short distance on to the obvious and wide Cumbrian Way. Follow this north westwards.
- 20 : km 10.42 - alt. 611 m - Branch away from the Cumbrian Way on an obvious track up to High Pike.
- 21 : km 10.97 - alt. 646 m - Follow a grassy track north eastwards to the mine shafts. A fence around one of the shafts is clearly visible.
- 22 : km 11.54 - alt. 567 m - Follow the grassy track that heads eastwards and keeps to the top of the fell (don't descend towards Carrock Beck).
- 23 : km 12.21 - alt. 507 m - Take a short diversion of the grassy track to go the very flat summit of West Fell. There is no cairn and you'll need a gps to confirm the exact summit.
- 24 : km 12.52 - alt. 501 m - Return to the eastwards bound grassy track. There are a number of grassy tracks around here. Choose one that heads down to where Carrock Beck crosses the road.
- 25 : km 14.34 - alt. 260 m - Cross the beck using the footbridge and return to the carpark.
- S/E : km 14.62 - alt. 253 m
