Wansfell Pike

A short walk on a day of very low cloud with Ian Lyne.

Route: From the main Ambleside carpark via Lower and Low Gate and then the Old Lake Road to Skelghyll Lane and then the path towards Jenkins Crag, turning left uphill at Kelsick Scar to follow the path past the observatory and then, as before, round towards the back of the hill before climbing up to the summit. Down the direct path towards Stockghyll Force.

Conditions: A sudden fall of damp snow leaving the ground slippy; very low cloud.

Pub: The Watermill at Ings for Arran Squirrel and various Watermill beers.
