Walk lead by Pat Guy, 8 miles, 1,300ft assent.
The B party walk this month is led by Pat Guy. We start by walking along
the main street in Keswick (no time for shops now, that comes later) and
down to Derwentwater, where we walk along the lake and through trees
for about 2 miles before a short climb up onto the main Borrowdale road,
then we walk along the pavement for a short while before turning onto
the road to Ashness Bridge, proberbly one of the most photographed
views in the Lake District. After taking in the view and maybe lunch
depending on the time, we will start a steady climb on good paths onto
Walla Crag, if we are fortunate with the weather we will be able to take in
one of the best views in the Northern Lakes, this takes in the mountains
of Borrowdale, Skiddaw, Blencathra and the Eastern Fells. It is well
worth the climb. It is then a nice downhill walk into Keswick. The walk is
about 8 miles long and 1,300ft of height gain.
You will then be allowed to visit the shops in Keswick and the many
establishments for refreshments. Toilets in Keswick are 40pence, cash
or card.
