A Walk up Skiddaw

Walk Leader: Jenny Matthias
Total Distance: 10 miles
Total Ascent/Descent:2900ft

If you have never climbed Skiddaw here is your opportunity. Although this is a long 'hike up the hill' it is not too difficult! the path out of Keswick is part of the Cumbria Way and skirts around the side of Latrigg. As we turn off that way we climb steadily for the rest of the trek to 931meters, over 3000ft.



We will make the detour over Little Man if we have time. If the weather permits and visibility is good, you will be able to see my home town, Aspatria, Scotland and possibly The Isle of Man.
We will return the same way and it is down hill all the way! Hopefully back in time to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the town on a Saturday in summer.
