Description of the walk

Start: Car park at the end of the Nannycatch Rd, CA23 2ER, Cleator

(S/E) From the car park, take the large path on the right (when facing the forest) that goes through the forest. Continue straight on this large path slowly going up.

(1) At the big bend, turn left to leave the forest track and go towards the field. Pass the little stile (it has a dog gate) to walk up to the little summit. Once at the top continue straight on the small path going down. Be careful, this section is very steep.

(2) At the intersection with a large path, turn left to walk towards Nannycatch gate. Continue straight on this large path until reaching the gate.

(3) Pass the gate and turn left to continue on the large path in the middle of the valley between Flat Fell and Raven Crag. Continue straight on this large path until reaching the car park (S/E).
