be a great pity that strangers should not enjoy it. It can be 

 well combined with the ascent of Wansfell from Lowwood. 



The best way of ascending "y^t? ansfell is from Skelgill. 

 Having pursued the path described in the preceding para- 

 graph, the stranger must turn to the left, in the field before 

 he reaches jSftelgtU ^arm. He will pass an old lime- 

 kiln,^ and almost immediately above it he will find traces of 

 a road. This he must follow through two or three enclosures 

 and he will thus find gates or stiles all the way to the top. 

 Wansfell is less steep on this side, and the ascent much less 

 fatiguing than that described as above Stockgill. There can 

 be no difficulty in finding the way, if the stranger will bear 

 in mind that he need climb no walls. The walls are very 

 high and very perplexing, and many persons have lost their 

 way, and even been benighted, having got into a hopeless 

 complication of fences. 



DOVE CRAGS. 

 (lO miles.) 



The walk to Dove Crags, and the next we shall describe, 

 is longer and more fatiguing than those hitherto mentioned ; 

 but in neither of them is there any difficulty which need 

 alarm a good walker. The time each occupies is from four 

 to five hours. 



The way to Dove Crags is perfectly easy to find in clear 

 weather, but a fog not only spoils the pleasure of the expe- 

 dition, but renders the route difficult and even dangerous ; 

 and, in bad weather, fogs are very apt to hang over the ridge 

 of which Dove Crags form the centre. The tourist starts

 Lime running through here.
