Striding out country on long ridges first used by the Roman legions. The classic route is the Kentmere/Mardale horseshoe in the south. For a shorter route with a nicely narrow ridge try High Street via Rough Crag from Haweswater, descending over Mardale Ill Bell and Harter Fell.
Photographically these are rather difficult hills, Haweswater in the east is a reservoir, giving uninteresting and sometimes unsightly banks when water levels drop. Ullswater in the north west is better as a foreground but does not adjoin the main hills of the range.
