About the event

8.5km, estimated 3 hours, total ascent 417m


Is Hen Comb "the sort of fell sometimes climbed, but rarely twice" and a walk for "anybody who doesn't want to get excited"? That was a rather harsh criticism Wainwright levelled at the 509m fell in the western Lakes. But, without wanting to disrespect the much-loved guidebook writer, we politely disagree. Hen Comb may be devoid almost entirely of dramatic cliffs, crags and rock, but its grassy, rounded slopes still hold a trump card. The panoramas during the climb over Loweswater and the Vale of Lorton are delightful, while the summit serves up an unexpected view of Buttermere in all its glory. If that's not exciting, we don't know what is.
