Newlands Valley 30th April 2012

Causey Pike Ridge

Lovely sunny day, with a light wind.  Out of the front door and across the bridge over Newlands beck and up to Gyll Bank, and then along the road into Littletown. From Littletown there is a footpath up to Hause Gate. This was a steady climb up to the path linking Cat Bells and Maiden Moor. From there we had a stunning view across Derwent Water to Keswick. After a short break admiring the view we took the path towards Maiden Moor. We got to about a height of 1400 feet (before Bull Crag) and decided to turn back. We went back to Hause Gate and then took the path that skirts the entire length of Catbells (about half way up) along the Newlands Valley side. Back to the cottage for about 1.30 where we sat outside and had lunch

 A lovely half day walk.
