An 8km sunny stroll with a pint in the middle.Route: leaving the car at the layby near the phone box at Waterend and talking the path down across fields and up to Hudson Place turning left and downhill to walk alongside the lake and on to the car park at Maggie’s Bridge. Walking up the track to the road and down to the Kirkstile Inn, pausing at the village hall to admire the view. After a pint sitting in the sun, retracing the route but continuing on the road, briefly joining the lakeside path on the north side of the lake then climbing up the bank to reach the green lane ascending under Low Fell. Taking a sharp left to descend to Miresyke on a rough stony track and then down the paved track to the start.
Conditions: a cool air temperature but warm in the sun on a bright sunny autumn day.
Pub: the Kirkstile Inn, part way round, for Cumbrian Ales, American Invasion.
