Nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park, this walk takes in the 5 summits of Helm Crag, Gibson Knott, Calf Crag, High Raise and Sergeant Man.
The views from the summit of High Raise (which is the highest point of the walk at 762m) are truly breathtaking and offer a 360 degree view of the surrounding Lake District. From the top, you can see more than half of every peak over 2000 feet.
At the summit we will stop for a breather, a few photos and the main event, our packed lunch.
As well as the amazing views we will also wander past two great tarns, Codale and Easdale as we start our descent back into Grasmere.
Once back in Grasmere we will have a well-deserved brew before we head off home.
