Route
Mardale Head round the head of the lake and up past Blea Water to Caspel Gate, then up Long Stile to High Street. North along the Roman road to the Straits of Riggindale, The Knott, Rampsgill Head and High Raise, back to Kidsty Pike and down Kidsty Howes to the Haweswater shore path and the car park.
Dog hazards
Long Stile has a few unavoidable rock steps with big holds and some exposure above Riggindale - dogs normally manage on a harness, but take it slowly. Haweswater shore path is rocky and rough underfoot.
Scrambles
None graded. Long Stile's rock steps - in high wind use the Gatescarth or Nan Bield path instead.
Water
Haweswater and becks. Dry on the plateau.
Livestock
Sheep; deer in the Martindale forest area.
