Day 1 - Meldrums And Gowbarrow
A great walk to do when conditions look a bit rough on Lakeland’s highest summits. Starts at Watermillock, heading towards Gowbarrow Fell via the rarely visited Little Meldrum and Great Meldrum. Completes a circuit of Gowbarrow Fell including a climb to its top. Lovely trail walking along Aira Beck to the spectacular Aira Force. The return to Watermillock has wonderful, elevated views over Ullswater.
