    From Kendal this is a 14km climb of some difficulty - never too steep but long and arduous. The descent on the other side (heading North) is magnificent!

    Nice summit included in my LEJoG tour this summer, although weather was not good (rain, wind) and there is some fast traffic, I enjoyed it. If climbing the south side you can consider the small road with no traffic.
