Sketch only — straight lines between summits. Follow the OS Maps route on the hill.
Fells
Route
Three out-and-backs from Elterwater: up Lingmoor Fell along the wall and back; north over the lanes and up Silver How and back; then east to Loughrigg Fell summit and back to Elterwater.
Dog hazards
No rock on this line, but there's a step stile just below Lingmoor's summit (Brown How) with no dog gate - you'll need to lift them. Lingmoor has quarry holes with drops - stay on the path. Busy with people and dogs.
Scrambles
None (the scrambly ground on Lingmoor is on the Side Pike side, not this route).
Water
Elterwater, Loughrigg Tarn, Rydal Water - plenty.
Livestock
Sheep and some cattle around Loughrigg Tarn.
