Fells
Route
Jubilee Bridge up the pass road and fell to Hard Knott, back to Hardknott Pass, up Harter Fell, then south over very wet ground past Crook Crag to Green Crag, down to Low Birker and back up the valley.
Dog hazards
Harter Fell's trig point is reachable without hands, but the higher summit crags need hands on rock - dogs wait at the trig. Narrow path round the back of Green Crag's summit outcrop. Very boggy; keep dogs out of the deep peat hollow. Hardknott Pass road is steep and busy.
Scrambles
Harter Fell's summit crags - stop at the trig with the dogs.
Water
Becks and bog pools.
Livestock
Sheep; cattle in Eskdale fields.
