Well, I have failed to get to this summit an a couple of occasions, so it was great to finally 'bag it' on the third try. This was also significant in that it was the final summit of the Eastern Fells.
The route started at High Row and followed the Old Coach Road before leaving to climb Clough head via White Pike. The only slight snag was that there was no stile in the fence where I needed to leave the main track. A kind couple of walkers helped me to get Meg over the fence. On the way back I dropped down to Meriel Bridge where there was a gate in the fence.

The couple who helped me with Meg offered for me to join them on a loop around to Great Dodd and back to High Brow, but I declined, and opted to head back the same way, and get some lunch on the way down. A lovely walk, in perfect conditions.
OS OL5 North Eastern Lakes. About 8 miles.
