Total Distance: 7 mls app
Total Ascent/Descent: 1890ft app
Our first point of note is Stock Ghyl Force, a lovely waterfall especially after rain.
We then walk a short way along a road before we start our ascent of Wansfell Pike, it is a fairly short in distance but a bit steep but will shall take it slowly and take in the wonderful views from the summit of Lake Windermere. After a rest on the top we will take the gradual path to Troutbeck with its lovely old cottages and maybe have an Ice Cream. The way back to Ambleside starts along Robin Lane an undulating track which again takes views of Windermere we also take a short Diversion to Jenkins Crag for more good views. This walk is a bit shorter then normal but will give us time so that we won’t have to rush particularly for the ascent. Ambleside provides plenty of shops, pubs, tea shops and even a garden centre on our return.
