Route: leaving the car in the B&B quarter in Keswick and crossing the footbridge into Upper Fitz Park to take roadside footpaths to Briar Rigg and then turning right along a track to cross the A66 and ascend. Taking the first right turn along a track and at a four-way junction continuing on on the higher path under the fellside as far as a small cross roads where turning left on a steep zigzagging path up hill, eventually becoming a straight steep tramp uphill out of the trees and onto still steep grassy fellside. Crossing a barbed wire fence with care and then along to the ambiguous top of Latrigg. Then back north west on a very clear, well-maintained zigzagging path to join the Cumbria Way and thence back to Keswick.
Conditions: some initial rain giving way to cloud and high wind.
Pub: the Square Orange, Keswick for Corby Oktohop Black IPA.
