# Guided 4 Wainwrights Hike

### Steel Fell • Calf Crag • Gibson Knott • Helm Crag

### A classic Lakeland horseshoe with Boot Up Adventures

The Greenburn Round is one of the Lake District’s most perfectly formed circular ridge walks — a beautifully varied horseshoe offering dramatic views, peaceful valleys and four classic Wainwright summits. This guided route gives you an unforgettable taste of Central Lakeland, combining rugged ridgelines with the tranquillity of the hidden Greenburn Valley.
We begin with a steady climb onto Steel Fell, a broad, impressive summit that delivers early panoramic views across Thirlmere, the Helvellyn range and down into the valley below. From here, the ridge flows gracefully over to Calf Crag, a rocky, characterful Wainwright with wide-open vistas across the heart of the Lakes.
The journey continues along a delightful high-level path towards Gibson Knott, a compact summit perched above Far Easedale, before reaching the iconic Helm Crag — the famous Lion and the Lamb. Few fells offer such memorable rock formations or such a commanding overlook of Grasmere and its surrounding peaks.
As a full circuit, the Greenburn Round offers everything: rugged scenery, peaceful stretches away from the crowds, and a natural horseshoe that feels incredibly satisfying from start to finish.

### Why this 4-Wainwright route is a favourite:

• Four classic Wainwrights in one flowing ridge circuit
• A perfect horseshoe with a mix of rugged summits and peaceful valleys
• Stunning views into the Helvellyn range, Far Easedale and across Grasmere
• An achievable, rewarding mountain day ideal for keen walkers
• Expert guidance and pacing from your Boot Up Adventures mountain leader
• Quieter terrain than many central fells, offering a more relaxed experience

If you’re seeking a guided Lake District hike that blends beauty, adventure and a true sense of journey, the Greenburn Rounddelivers one of the region’s most enjoyable and scenic days on the trail.
Join Boot Up Adventures and explore this classic 4-Wainwright Lakeland horseshoe.

Considered one of the most classic and therefore beautifully stunning long distance hikes in the world! The West Highland Way follows historic routes from the lowlands of Glasgow to the wilds of the Scottish Highlands.

This classic walk passes through some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery, following ancient drove roads, used by Highlanders to get their cattle and sheep to market, old military roads built in the 1700’s during the Jacobite uprising, old coach roads and abandoned rights of way railway lines.

Hiking this near 100 mile route takes you past the wild shores of Loch Lomond, Britain’s largest freshwater lake, through the wilds of Rannoch Moor, Scotland’s largest, and finishes at the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain’s largest mountain! Although sheep and cattle aplenty, you might spot wild goats, red deer or even a golden eagle!

Meet new people and achieve your goals…
Walking over 7 days, with your own fully qualified and experienced Mountain Leader, means this famous route can be done in a more relaxed, sociable and therefore enjoyable environment, amongst other like minded adventurers. The fitter you are, the more enjoyable you’ll find it, but it is not a race! Each day ranges from a nice steady 9 miles, to our stand out longest day of 19 miles. Luckily you’ll only need carry a day bag as your main luggage will be waiting for you at the end of each day.
