vales could here recover, or hear tidings of, their missing 

 sheep. 



The climber will not unlikely have the satisfaction of catch- 

 ing sight of some of the ^Bieti ^eer which are still to be 

 found on these hills. This * chase ' and parts of Devonshire, 

 are, we believe, the only places in England — excepting, of 

 course, private parks — from which this noble animal has 

 not disappeared. 



In case mist or any other cause should prevent the travel- 

 ler, when he is at the high end of Troutbeck, from making 

 the ascent of High Street, he may be glad to know that he 

 can arrive at Ullswater by crossing the pass at the head of 

 the valley. The pass is many hundred feet lower than High

 Green, or Kentmere. For the first, let the traveller follow 

 the Eoman road for about a mile : he will then be guided by 

 a series of juts under ^EJe ^Einott, with ^ages "^iZE^ater

 which he will reach ^fe>;art30p, a little hamlet on the road 

 from Kirkstone to Patterdale. To reach Ullswater by this 

 way, would make a grand termination to a day's work. 



In the descent for Mardale Green, make for Small Water, 

 taking a wide circuit of the cliffs above Blea Water. In this
