9h 39m of daylight. Golden hour ends 08:00 and starts 15:52. From the summit you see the sun 07:02 to 16:50.
Mellbreak reaches 511m (1,677ft) on the west shore of Crummock Water. It stands alone, with steep sides above the lake and the quiet valley of Mosedale to the west, and Hen Comb 1.7km across Mosedale. The long summit ridge has a northern and a southern top. It is a Wainwright, Marilyn and Birkett.
The usual route starts at Loweswater near the Kirkstile Inn and climbs the north end, a steep path through heather and scree with a short rocky section. You then follow the ridge south over both tops and descend into Mosedale to return.
The north end climbs hard from the first step, and the scree is loose in places. From the summit you look across Crummock Water to Grasmoor and Rannerdale Knotts.
