Great Sca Fell, Knott and Brea Fell round walk.

With a deteriorating forecast for the day a local walk was planned. We parked up at Longlands and walked along the track before peeling off to the right along the footpath that goes to the right hand side of the beck that comes down to Rough Close. It's a lovely gentle track that gets you into the heart of the Uldale Fells, with ease. Great Scar Fell was clearly visible and the views from the summit were good - unfortunately there was an indigo-tinged wall of rain moving in from the west and the wind was rising, so a quick nip onto Knott and then over to Brae Fell and down cross onto the original track back to Longlands.

Top - the path up and then bottom looking back down through nice interlocking spurs. 

Top - looking back over Longlands and Binsey.
Bottom - towards Brae Fell.

Rocky on Great Scar Fell .....Looking across to Overwater and then with Skiddaw behind.
