A walk on the Howgill Fells with members of The Wainwright Society climbing Arant Haw and Winder

Route: From Joss Lane car park reach the fell via a lane and track and ascend Settlebeck Gill to join a path leading to the summit of Arant Haw (1985').  Retrace steps to the saddle and a short ascent to Winder where there is a cairn and trig point.  Head south west down the fell to a wall and turn left leading downhill.  Cross a narrow beck and slant downhill through bracken to Lockbank Farm.  Pass through the farm to the road leading back to Sedbergh.

Reaching the main bridleway the low cloud is beginning to rise off the fell

Looking towards Crook
The main path leads to The Calf - not our route today!

The summit of Winder

... still in thick cloud!

The weather is better on Winder
Time for something to eat and drink

Sod's Law in action!  Arant Haw is clear ...
... now, if only it had been like that 20 minutes ago!
