The route started at the Armboth carpark and we followed the signed route to Watendlath until we reached the ridge looking across to the summit of High Tove. We then skirted the boggy area onto Armboth Fell before dropping down to Fisher Crag. The gate has been stapled shut and a new fence erected, so there was no recognised or dog-friendly access to the spectacular views over Thirlmere. From the gate onto Fisher Crag we followed the fence north which brought us down to a new forestry track that would have taken us straight down to the road ....we did a slight detour via a packhorse bridge onto the older footpath mentioned in other walks, that brought us back to the start.
