| Walk: | Raise Beck, Thirlmere, Harrop Tarn, Ullscarf, Greenup Edge, High Raise, Sergeant Man, Calf Crag, Steel Fell, Steel End | ||
| Start Point: | Layby near Dunmail Raise | Grid Reference: | NY 330 111 |
| Distance: | 13.5 miles | Ascent: | 3,400 feet |
| Time: | 7 hours | ||
| Weather: | After a couple of early showers the weather stayed dry for the rest of the day. Very cold breeze on the summits but quite pleasant otherwise | ||
| Comments: | Five walkers joined me for this walk in the Central Fells. After an early downpour the conditions were near perfect and a good day was had by all, especially Robb who “bagged” two new Wainwrights |

Crossing Raise Beck is a tricky business since the footbridge was washed away
