The walk starts from Elterwater, goes through the slate quarry onto Lingmoor Fell, then up to Brown Howe with its excellent views of the Langdales. After following the ridge the path descends to the road just below Side Pike. Here I have chosen to return along the lower flanks of Lingmoor Fell on the Little Langdale side instead of the more popular Great Langdale route. The reason for this is that there is an excellent low-level walk around Great Langdale which could be saved for another day. This route also gives an opportunity to travel some of the Little Langdale Valley. From the road just below Side Pike the route passes Blea Tarn before leaving the road on a footpath along the fellside, eventually to join a track before passing down through woods back to Elterwater.

Quite a tricky walk in less good weather - borders on strenuous. Take great care on the rocky descent.

We did this walk today Sunday 5th Sept 2004. Scenery is spectacular. However, I would personally class this walk at the high end of moderate. Some of the climbs and descents are quite taxing.
