Leaving Garsdale Head and its small halt on the Settle to Carlisle Railway we strike north across fields and tracks heading for Grizedale Common. From here we start the long ascent to Swarth Fell Pike before a short descent and ascent to Wild Boar Fell from where we have great views across the remote fells that constitute the region.
Next we head for The Nab and Little Fell descending past Lammerside Castle and Wharton Hall into Kirkby Stephen.

Under Breeching it was supposed to be closed but was saved by the then transport minister Michael Portillo.
We then head down Tommy road to reach Pendragon castle.
Now we cross the river and head to the village of Southwaite. Here we follow a path which takes us past Carr House and on to Scotch well and up the fell to Ridding House and then down Thringill Beck into Nateby and eventually Kirby Stephen (Possibly via Stenkrith park).
