Route: leaving the car in the B&B quarter in Keswick and crossing the footbridge into Upper Fitz Park to pick up the railway path and cycle track behind the sports centre (after watching one of the local rabbits clean its inside leg for some considerable time) and heading towards Threlkeld. Following the track along, spotting a couple of deer in the woods on the south side, to the first missing bridge (post-2016 floods) at NY 28849 24432 and then backtracking to follow a temporary footpath north to connect to a balcony path in Brundholme Woods with occasional views across the river. Trending upwards to join a road and following this east to meet a track doubling back to ascend Latrigg, leaving it to follow the edge and reach the summit. Steeply descending slippery grass and then leaves in the woods to join the Cumbria Way and thence back to Keswick.
Conditons: a mild and sunny day with lots of people out and about.
Pub: the Wainwright Inn, Keswick for Fell Brewery Tinderbox IPA and Ulverston Brewery Laughing Gravy.
