  Mellbreak - Wainwright Classics
Mellbreak is one of those Lakeland Fells that I drove past many times, thinking it looked rather challenging, but knowing it was there to be climbed – after all, it is one of Wainwright’s 214 Fells covered in his seven Pictorial Guides.
Mellbreak is itself a ridge and, according to AW, ‘like the keel of an overturned boat.
There are two summits on Mellbreak, the southern one being higher and should be visited if you are to claim that you have reached the top.

 Loweswater at AllExperts
The group of fells to the south of Loweswater is known as the Loweswater Fells and consists of Mellbreak, Gavel Fell, Blake Fell, Hen Comb and Burnbank Fell.
The lake is unusual in the radial drainage pattern of the Lake District in draining towards the centre of the District: its outfall, Dub Beck, becomes Park Beck and runs east or south-east into the north end of Crummock Water, close to that lake's exit.
The immediate vicinity of Loweswater is very genteel and is consists mainly of rolling hills, in contrast to the rocky, more aggressive mountains found elsewhere in the Lake District (though Mellbreak, part of the Loweswater Fells, is steep and craggy).
