Steel Knotts (Pikeawassa) (432m) - 06/01/2019
Distance: 3km; Ascent: 220m; Time 1h45m
We parked on Hallin Fell, opposite St Peter's church in Martindale. It would probably have made for a better walk to ascend from Howtown via Steel End, but we were following someone else's route (initially). The route follows a track past the church and along a wall (on your right). After a while we went off piste and went more-or-less straight up to the ridge-line and then followed it south over Steel Knotts to the summit at Pikewassa. We continued south until we reached a wall with a steep short-cut track to the footpath back to Martindale. Great views of Ullswater and Gowbarrow, the High Street range, Place Fell and all around.
