Route: Free car parking spaces all being full, leaving the car in the Broadgate Meadow car park (now pay and display, again, and £3 for 2 hours) and walking to and past the Swan Hotel and 100m up the quiet road before turning left at the end to find a tarmac drive signposted 'Allcock Tarn' rising beside a stream. At the end, bearing left to rise on a paved stone 'staircase' as far as a locked gate into a wood and then, instead, bearing right across the fell, with much evidence of recent elegant Fix the Fells paving work, to reach the ridge and then up that to Stone Arthur. Descending steep and pathless north-west down a grassy slope towards Tongue Gill to pick up the path down from Grizedale Hause and along above the valley before turning right through a boggy field to Winterseeds and then left along the main road back to the start.Conditions: sunny but cool in the wind.
Pub: Tweedies, Grasmere for Fyne ** and lunch.
