The Brothers Water walk starts from Cow Bridge, a turn off the A592. The Cow Bridge car park is easily missed if driving south from Patterdale because Brothers Water is not visible until it is too late. If the road has a left bend away from trees and towards open ground then look for either of two tracks on the right at the bend. Going north from the Kirkstone Pass, the car park is easily seen just beyond Brothers Water.
The path is wide but not completely smooth and it is just over one mile to Hartsop Hall, where we retraced our steps back to the car. One other option is to go around the back of Hartsop Hall and take a path across fields to Sykeside Campsite and the Inn at Kirkstonefoot.
The weather on the 5th March 2020 was absolutely perfect with blue skies and snow on the mountains.
