The procession of people along Walna Scar road are mainly heading to Dow Crag, which is a shame as these are a lovely cluster of hills. After the rough loose rocks and stones of the pass their soft grassy paths are very welcome. Blind Tarn is a great place to sit for a while on the way back.

We drove up the Walna Scar Road as far as cars can go and parked in the car park beyond the gate. We then followed the road (a rough track) for about 2 miles before forking off to climb the ridge leading to Dow Crag.
