20/06/2023 Green Crag (489m)
Distance: 7.5km, Ascent: 400m, Time 2h30m
We parked at the small Wha House car park on the Hardknott pass road. The ascent south from here is through bracken with route finding not easy on initially indistinct and then absent paths. We made our way east of Dow Crag and then picked up a path around Crook Crags (on the east side) which led on to the summit of Green Crag. For the descent we headed towards Low Birker Tarn and found a path that skirts the crags on the west side befoe descending steeply on a well-marked path to Low Birker and the Penny Hill Farm, returning on the footpath marked in green on the map. (Satnav track seems more approximate than usual)
