Balcony path under Carling Knott and Burnbank Fell

A short walk with the Hornbys.

Route: leaving the car at Maggie’s Bridge car park and heading uphill past meadows and High Nook Farm to cross the beck on a small footbridge. There picking up a gently rising wide balcony path above Holme Wood. This time taking a right hand turn just before crossing the stream to descend a diagonal path through trees. On reaching a forest track, turning left to reach the main path through the woods near (though not by) Loweswater. Then back to the car.

Conditions: a cool breeze with some hints of sun.

Pub: the Kirkstile Inn for Cumbrian Legendary Ales Langdale, Loweswater Gold and lunch.
