The A walk will be led by Glynis and is approximately 11 miles and 2400 feet
The walk will start on the A591 near Bridge End Farm and will climb High Rigg, which is a Wainwright. The views are wonderful all the way and at the top in all directions. We will descend to St Johns Church and head towards Threlkeld Knotts where there are also good views especially of Blencathra. The plan is to climb about half way up and have lunch before continuing down past the quarries to the old railway path as far as Brundholme (possible ice cream van) and head to Keswick through the woods.
The B walk will be led by Bob and is approximately 9.1 miles and 1500 feet
Starting from Keswick, we follow the Cumbria Way northwards, making a short detour to enjoy the panoramic views from Latrigg (1150 feet), which is our main ascent of the day. Continuing along the Cumbria Way, we then round the flanks of Lonscale Fell on a narrow but easy path looking down steep slopes into the valley of Glenderaterra Beck. We then leave the Cumbria Way and turn back down into the valley on an easy path, a little indistinct at first, to reach Derwentfolds Farm and Brundholme. We then join the route of the disused railway, crossing the River Greta 5 times and passing through pleasant stretches of woodland and Fitz Park back into Keswick.
The C walk will be led by Phil and is approximately 5.6 miles and 520 feet
The walk starts at the Theatre by the Lake and does a circuit through woods and back along the lake shore before crossing Crow Park and heading towards Portinscale where we turn off towards Crossthwaite Church. We then follow paths and road to Briar Rigg and ascend Spooner Lane into the woods . On reaching the Brundleholme Road we descend via Windebrow to Calverts Bridge and the cycleway into Keswick.
