Rosthwaite to Grasmere via Gibson Knott & Helm Crag

a 10 mile hike taking in the full variety of Lake district landscape of valleys, fells and crags (and lakes too)

The walk first takes in the valley of Greenup before ascending to Greenup Edge. A rocky ridge curves east and then south east from Calf Crag, passing over Gibson Knott and the depression of Bracken Hause, before ending at Helm Crag where it falls steeply on all sides. To the north and east of the ridge is the Greenburn valley, which joins the Rothay at Helm Side. To the west and south is Easedale Beck, which is also a feeder of the Rothay, the watersmeet being just north of Grasmere village.
