The climb of Hen Comb from Buttermere is an interesting walk to a rarely visited Lakeland fell hidden between Crummock Water and Ennerdale. The return via the beautiful west shores of Crummock water is lovely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of those rare breeds, a remote walk which is full of interest but right in the heart of the Lake District. Whilst the crowds stopping at Buttermere are heading up Red Pike, Haystacks<\/a> or Grasmoor<\/a> (all steep but rewarding climbs) the solitary walkers looking for some peace heads north west in to Mosedale. Hen Comb is a graceful fell which is probably only ever be climbed by Wainwright<\/a> baggers. However it is well worth climbing by more discerning walkers. The walk is best combined with a return via\u00a0Crummock Water. The shoreline here is quiet and most enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I climbed Hen Comb and completed the walk in rapidly deteriorating weather conditions. I am afraid this explains the generally poor photography. The approach to the foot of Hen Comb was wet and trackless. From here it is a steady climb alongside a fence to the small summit plateau. Unfortunately at the summit of Hen Comb driving rain dampened my enthusiasm (the photos of Crummock Water<\/a> are from a previous walk). From the foot of Hen Comb it is a short crossing on a good path to the lakeside. The only danger is becoming distracted by the excellent pub at Loweswater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommend <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A few additional temptations, Scale Force on the first climb, a peep over to Ennerdale from Floutern Tarn and a packed lunch on the summit of Hen Comb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
