A tiny 2km pootle to explore a previously unexperienced view.Route: leaving the car in the ex-quarry car park near the foot of the Whinlatter Pass and walking downhill to the Hope Memorial Camp (that day aka Kim's Love Shack) and joining a footpath heading north almost as far as the C-road. Backtracking past a gate and then taking a faint but discernible path left and uphill, through a gate, to join the ridge (with a private wood to the left/east) as far as what seemed to be the highest ground. Then on along the ridge losing height to reach the Hope Memorial Camp again, rejoin the road and return to the car.
Conditions: a dry and pleasant evening.
Pub: the Wainwright Inn, Keswick for Fell Brewery Tinderbox IPA.
