We will leave the car park after a comfort stop and walk up
through the centre of Keswick onto Ambleside Road. As we turn into Springs Road
we begin to leave the houses. After Springs Farm we begin our steady climb
through Springs Wood towards Castlerigg, passing the mast we have seen lower
down we continue upwards to the edge of the wood where we walk out onto the
road at Rakefoot for a few yards before turning to climb up to the top of Walla
Crag. This is a steady climb and the reward will be the fabulous views as we
go.

When we leave the summit it is a downward path to Ashness Bridge.
The steepest descent is just before the Bridge. Then we walk down
the road to the Lake's edge circumnavigating it all the way back into Keswick.
This is a moderate climb up to 1,243ft, the views are stunning.
You will see Cat Bells, Borrowdale, down the two Lakes and Skiddaw and
beyond. We will have plenty of time to enjoy this lovely walk.
