Caw (529m) from Torver 17/05/2015
Distance ~9km, ascent ~300m
From the first carpark SWW of Torver on Broughton Moor I started by walking through the woodland to Water Yeat bridge. Although this is marked as coniferous woodland on the map, and this is largely accurate, it does also contain a good mix of deciduous trees and an understory of a Vaccinium spp (prob Cowberry) and heather in places, as well as having several water courses. From the bridge I proceeded along Long Mire as far as the saddle (continuing down would take me to Seathwaite). From the saddle I made the steep ascent of Caw (529m). Although not especially high this summit is an outlier and commands good 360 degree views particularly across to the Old Man of Coniston and his ridges. On to ‘Pikes’ and down to the River Lickle at a footbridge and back through the woodland to the car.
