Walk lead by Gwyn Jones, 5 1/2 miles
This walk is up to Castlerigg and back down. The first 2 miles are on level ground along the lakeside, via Friars Crag, and through woodland to Calfclose Bay. The next mile is uphill through the woods. (Total ascent is approx. 400 ft.) It starts with a short fairly steep climb up a rocky path for about 150 yards. After this it becomes a more gradual ascent, eventually levelling off. Once out of the woods we enjoy views towards Keswick, Skiddaw and Cat Bells. We then take a short walk into the woods to cross a stream and go up to a road. From here it is all downhill back to Keswick.
