Route: leaving the car at the NT car park in Buttermere (free for members) and walking through Wilkinsyke Farm and down the lake east side of the lake shore as far as the tunnel. Then exploring a path over the top of the tunnel and back through it again. Turning back for a spot of lunch at the pub to avoid over-taxing Ian’s hamstring tear.
Conditions: cool and cloudy with rain at the very end.
Pub: the Bridge Hotel, Buttermere for Jennings Cockerhoop, Tirril ** and **.
