| The hamlet of High Nibthwaite on the east side of Coniston Water is the starting point for this walk |
 |
| A short lane which starts from the telephone box leads up to a gate which gives access to the open fellside, this is the start of the old Parkamoor road |
 |

 |
| Brock Barrow is AW's "nameless summit" and he climbed it by the steep gully which rises right to left through the broken crags, an arduous ascent! |
 |
| It is much easier to continue on the gentler path to High Bethecar and climb Brock Barrow from the rear |
 |
| Looking back, Buck Barrow and Whit Fell appear on the horizon over the col between Wool Knott and Beacon Fell |
 |
| Looking back to Great Burney and Blawith Knott with Black Combe on the right skyline |
 |
| Where the High Bethecar begins to descend towards Caws Beck, another path turns off it and begins to climb the southern slopes of Brock Barrow |
