Newlands Round
Distance: 20.8km (12.92 Miles)
Ascent: 1620m (5315ft)
Time: 6 Hours
Today’s walk was a little unplanned. I originally intended of simply going up Catbells as I had walked a fair distance yesterday. Once at the top of Catbells I decided to keep going… and going and complete the entire Newlands Round! 4 Miles turned into 13!

This is Skelgill Bank which is the first mini summit on the way to Catbells. The path is well worn as many walkers head up this path!
