B Walk (Elterwater)

Click on map to enlarge

Leader: Beverley Kelly

Distance: 9 Miles

Total ascent/descent: 1450ft


This is a delightful B walk with plenty of variety as it wends its way through the two Langdale valleys, but it is not a stroll. If you are a B walker then you will manage it with ease as you cope with the climbs and different terrains, enjoying the feast of views before you and will finish the walk tired but satisfied



1. The first climb done and time to admire the views


2. Down Dale End and the mighty Wetherlam comes into view,

then continue down


3. Past Wilson Place to join the Little Langdale Road


4. And to walk past the Three Shires Inn—sorry no time to go in!


5. Continue downhill to cross Slaters Bridge

6. And along the valley with Lingmoor Fell to the right.

A difficult section ahead of us.

7. Blea Tarn may be our lunch stop,

but I suspect we will be hungry before here!

Highest point ahead at 780ft


8. Steep Descent towards Great Langdale,

the Langdale Pikes and the Old Dungeon Ghyll



9. Relative easy walk back along the Cumbria way

with the A Party ridge alongside us

Back in Elterwater Village
