A Walk at Ambleside

Walk Leader: Jenny Mathias
Total Distance: 9 mls
Total Ascent/Descent: 2700ft




The walk out of Ambleside is a steady climb to the summit of Red Screes at 2546ft. We start gently at first following Scandale Beck to its source just under Red Screes. If we get a clear day the views are spectacular all the way around. (On the recce we saw many of the fells and lakes.)
 


The climb down follows a ridge and for the most part it is a steady downhill path! We come out onto the Kirkstone Pass Road. It is a lovely walk but a good pace will be neede to ensure time for a cup of tea at the end.
