Route: from Windermere station along the lower footpath to Orrest Head and then continuing northwards but accidentally heading too far to the east and hence crossing boggy fields before reaching and turning right on the road for 300m. Turning left to cross more fields and turning right on the Ings-Troutbeck short cut road to reach the start of the Garburn Pass (Dubbs Road). Along this gaining altitude steadily to the top of the pass before making a very slow steeper descent on the very rocking track to Kentmere. Taking the main road south to reach a bridleway left and climbing over the shoulder of the hillside to reach the top of Hall Lane from which down to the Staveley mill yard and later the station.
Conditions: warm and sunny.
Pub: the Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley for Hawkshead Cumbrian Five Hop and a half of IPA.
