Route: leaving the car in the Booths car park (having shopped) and taking the marked path to Orrest Head, cutting corners on available footpaths to reach the summit. Then heading east off the summit to reach a clearly marked path in a wall corner through Common Wood to reach the A591 a little to the east of the station and back to the start.
Conditions: a gap in the rain but heavy clouds.Pub: the Watermill, Ings, for Windermere Brewery Bad Dog IPA and, eventually over four hours, lunch.
