Route
From Newlands Hause north-east up the grassy ridge to Knott Rigg, on along the ridge to Ard Crags and back the same way.
Dog hazards
Mostly an easy grassy ridge, but there's a rocky step on the steep climb from Newlands Hause, and near Knott Rigg's summit keep right - straight on leads towards a drop into Sail Beck. Steep heather drops on Ard Crags' east side.
Scrambles
None graded; one short rocky step near the start.
Water
None - take water.
Livestock
Sheep.
Notes
Short enough to add to NW2 by driving over Newlands Hause from Buttermere.
