Next Wednesday Walk 21st October ending in Ambleside

The A walk will be led by Glynis and is approximately 7.5 miles and 1500 feet

The A Walk will start at Scandale Bridge with a nice easy warm up walk to Rydal.  From there we will climb Nab Scar.  Nab Scar is part of the Fairfield Horseshoe and is steep in places but we will take our time and have several breaks as necessary.  We will descend to Alcock Tarn (lunch) and then down to White Moss, round Rydal Water and along the back road into Ambleside.  If we get good weather, the views will be spectacular and well worth the effort!  Should the weather be unkind, I have a low level Plan B ready.

As there is a bit more climbing than usual (1500 ft), the walk is only 7.5 miles so there will be time to take it slowly.

​

The B walk will be led by Mary and is approximately 6 miles and 800 feet

Starting at White Moss, we make our way across Loughrigg Terrace to High Close. Then through the arboretum, down and skirting Loughrigg Tarn, make our ascent around Ivy Crag, over Loughrigg Fell and descend to Ambleside.

​​

​The C walk will be led by Anne and is no more than 4 miles and no height

We leave the coach at Waterhead and head to the lake shore.  After a short walk we reach entry to Borrans Park, then into a field to see Ambleside's Roman Fort layout clearly shown on display boards.  We continue on through the reserve until we reach the main road, cross and continue ahead following the River Rothay until we reach Miller's Bridge which we cross into Rothay Park where we can have lunch.  Afterwards we will follow the path round the park back into centre of Ambleside.
