| A delightful walk with some lovely views |
After refreshments it is on the road to Colthouse, then off road towards Crofts Head. Onto footpaths through Crag Wood, fields, another wood with a network of raised tree roots on the path and on to Outgate Village.
 |
| A nice pub to visit, but not on today's walk |
 |
| If you take the bus you will miss the views |
Briefly on the road through Outgate and onto a tracj through another wood. The track is a bit stony and becomes occasionally marshy. We have a continious view of Blelham Tarn on this section but it is as well to look front s we cross a small beck on 4 large stepping stones, there is no obvious alternative. It's onward to join a minor road near Wray Castle, then a bridle path down to the shore of Windermere.

From the shore it is uphill through a field, a 1 in 5 gradient for about 300 yards leading to a marshy area without any close alternative route. Then into High Wray village on the minor road which takes us back to Colthouse and Hawkshead.

| Wonderful view from near High Wray |
The walk is a little over 6 miles with a few stiles and the inevitable Lake District indulations.
