A short circuit of fells to the south of Loweswater. The forecast had predicted the best weather in the NW and it stayed dry, though very dull most of the time and surprisingly chilly in the wind.
We encountered only a handful of people in this quiet corner of Lakeland away from the popular peaks.

That’s the great thing about the Lakes; you head to the less popular fells on the edge and you get good views and all to yourself. Good trip you had there and shows what a great backpacking destination the Lakes is.
Hi Martin,
Most of our Lakes trips are out of season in the winter months, but we occasionally visit areas like this for a mostly secluded backpack even in summer. Mellbreak never seems to have many people on it despite the fantastic views, probably because of its isolation - you lose all the height on the traverse.
