Catstye Cam & Birkhouse Moor. Lake District. 20th April 2023

A walk up to two Wainwright Fells in the Lake District, Birkhouse Moor (718m) and Catstye Cam (890m)
The walk starts from the Pay and Display Car park in Glenridding next to Ullswater and follows the path which runs beside Mires Beck up to the North Top of Birkhouse Moor before following the wall to the highest point of the fell at 718m. From Birkhouse Moor we follow the path to the " hole in the wall" before heading to Red Tarn. We take a well earned break at the Tarn before the climb up to the superb summit of Catstye Cam( 890m)
The views from Catstye Cam are really good.
From Catstye Cam we descend to the path which runs beside Red Tarn Beck and follow this back to Glenridding. Distance is around 7 miles.
