Route: leaving the cars in the northern White Moss car park and crossing the road to walk through the woods to the new wooden footbridge at the western end of Rydal Water. Then crossing the bridge (gate recently vandalised with a chainsaw) to walk up to Loughrigg Terrace and turn right to take the steep, direct route up to the summit just before Red Bank. Heading east off the summit following intermittent, eventually waterlogged paths steeply down to regain Loughrigg Terrace and follow it left (west) until the fork down to the wall-gate back into the trees and down to the other footbridge and back to the car park.Conditions: high cloud with spits of rain to begin with but wide views on the summit
Pub: the Badger Bar for Hawkshead Red, Corby Blonde and cups of tea and pop for the others!
