Fells
Route
Whinlatter visitor centre through the forest to Lord's Seat, out-and-back to Barf, west over Broom Fell to Graystones. Down into the forest by Aiken Beck and round on forest tracks to Whinlatter (Brown How), then east along its ridge back to the visitor centre.
Dog hazards
No rock on this line - the steep loose ground is only on Barf's Bishop face, which this route avoids. Forest tracks are confusing and shared with mountain bikers.
Scrambles
None (Barf direct via the Bishop is a loose scramble - not used).
Water
Forest streams.
Livestock
Sheep on open ground.
