The Loweswater Birketts
The fells around Loweswater, south towards Ennerdale and north towards Lamplugh, hold 16 tops that are not Wainwrights, all of them Birketts. 13 of them are on at least one of our routes, measured on the route’s own GPS line, and each card names the route; the other 3 come within a kilometre of one, and their cards say how close, from the same line.

A top that is only near a route is not a way up: the ground between has not been assessed. None of these routes is walked by us yet; they are planned lines, drawn on the map and checked against the terrain model, so read each route page before you go.
