| C Walk Route [anticlockwise] |
Unfortunately, it is difficult to walk out of Glenridding without going upwards other than along the main road and upwards is something that this walk along the Grisedale Valley has in the early part after which it is a gentle stroll along either side of the Grisedale Beck.

| Greystones Coffee House and Gallery |
We will start from the coach park, after the obligatory coffee stop of course, walking up the lane for some 400 yards. Moving into the woods, the path is a slow climb up steps which we will take at the pace of the slowest and resting as often as you like. The group will take a rest before walking along the slope up to Lanty’s Tarn .
The path emerges to a fine view of the valley which we will be able to keep as we walk through a short wooded section to descend onto the track that leads to Grisedale Tarn.

| Nethermost Pike, Dollywagon Pike and Helvellyn from the entrance to the Grisedale Valley |
The walk continues along this path with further views all around to a bridge which we cross to take the path home now walking towards Patterdale where we meet the main road and turn left for the final 15 minutes into Glenridding.
