Gummer's How is easy to reach via the A590, turning onto the A592 at Newby Bridge, and then right onto Fell Foot Brow. Continue to drive or cycle up the incredibly steep hill until you reach the car park at Gummer's How. There are also several laybys where you can sensibly leave your car. You can probably do without a map for the basic walk, but if you have an OS map, the grid ref for the start is SD 390 877, height 681ft. If you go off the main path onto the myriad of smaller paths, we would definitely recommend a map. Start by taking the footpath northwards, signposted Gummer's How. Almost immediately you will be rewarded with magnificent views of the lake. The path is a little bit challenging, but straightforward if you're reasonably fit and wearing sensible walking shoes. Grid ref for the summit is SD 390 884, height 1034ft. At the top there is a trig point, and some fabulous views of Windermere. Total length of the walk, there and back, is about 1.2 miles.
