A short 7km walk with Robin and Virginia on a glorious autumn day.
Route: leaving the car at 9:30am in an already fairly full Maggie’s Bridge car park and heading along the lakeshore past Hudson Place and Jenkinson Place, slowly ascending a track onto the shoulder of the hillside. Taking a sharp left rising in the direction of Burnbank Fell and then left to pick up the obvious coffin route. After crossing Holme Beck, taking the path on the left into the wood and descending on a diagonal to the corner of Loweswater and back on the outward route.
Conditions: a warm, sunny (hot at times) and largely still day.Pub: the Kirkstile Inn for Cumbrian Legendry Ales Session IPA and Loweswater Gold and lunch.
