At this point, the path, which started in the west at Old Schoolhouse in Outhgill, ends. The rest of the climb to High Seat is off-grid (about 770m further), but it's just going up on grass. You need to be in relatively good shape and a slightly more experienced hiker. Make sure you have good boots for this. But it is nothing too difficult for relatively fit people.

If descending to Outhgill, I'd take care as it can be a bit steep. Enjoy the amazing views wherever you choose to look!

....and steep it is too. However, it is a great walk up from Outgill, and the views are fabulous.
