Total Distance:9 miles
Total Ascent: 2000ft
The walk is about 9 miles with approx. 2000 ft of climbing. We begin from Grasmere village and head up the Easdale valley, past the waterfall at Sourmilk Gill to Easdale Tarn. Rounding the tarn, we climb up past Belles Knott (Wainwright's "Matterhorn of the Lakes") until we reach the ridge. At this point,depending on time and conditions, we may detour to Sergeant Man for some great views down into Langdale. Retracing our steps, we descend the ridge past Blea Rigg, the Castle Howes and Lang How, to reach Silver How. Grasmere, gingerbread and liquid refreshment are then a mere 20 minute descent away.
