Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Low Saddle (Coldbarrow Fell)
Kevin Foster walked up Low Saddle (Coldbarrow Fell) on May 27th, 2020 [from/via/route] Ullscarf. [with] Diana and Henry. [weather] Sunny & hot. - Steps were retraced to the fence corner on Coldbarrow Fell (reached on the ascent of Ullscarf). Then began a long descent northwards first over High Saddle then Low Saddle with superb views of Derwent water & Lake Bassenthwaite framed by the North Western Fells (left) & the Skiddaw range (right). A sweeping diversion to the left (west) to take in the sublime Dock Tarn is highly recommended on the return to Watlendlath rather than the direct route back if you have time. A fantastic day's walking which left me wanting to come back soon to this secluded area of The Lakes.
