Route: from the bus stop at Rydal, ascending the road towards Rydal Hall and turning left along the coffin route for 3km. The stony track giving way to a metalled track and then a c-road descending to Town End and then along the main road to Tweedies for lunch.
Conditions: yet another gloriously hot sunny day (about the tenth in a row).
Pub: Tweedies, Grasmere, for Thornbridge Jaipur IPA, Cumbrian Ales Loweswater Gold and Fell Crag Bitter and lunch.
