We could not have picked a better day amongst a lot of miserable weather. Blue skies, fluffy clouds, and warming sunshine, coupled with a gentle walk and wonderful views.
We walked from the Car park near the Garden Centre into Ambleside and up the valley past Stockghyl Force towards the bottom of Wansfell, back past the car park then Jenkins Crag, Troutbeck and back. Total of 7.5 miles, total ascent 1776ft in 5hrs 45 mins
What a wonderful view of the central lake fells as we reach the foot of Wansfell for the first time.
Who's worried by a Bull in the pathway? Certainly not him!
A 'Straggle' of walkers wending downhill again
A short diversion for a favourite view from Jenkins Crag
Lunch spot. we even had room to swing our legs over the bank with soft grass instead of hard stone! The Langdales in the distance
The view south along the length of Windermere
2/3rds of the way round and still as fresh as a daisy. Plenty of time to dawdle
Somethings blocking our way, so we can't go yet!
