The A walk will be led by Andy and is approximately 10 - 10 1/2miles and 2500 feet.
The walk begins in Grasmere and takes the path to Easedale Tarn. We continue up the valley with the pyramidal-shaped Belles Knott coming into view in order to begin a short but sharp scramble. The rewards will be some wonderful views of Codale & Easedale Tarns. The walk proceeds up a rocky path reaching the Blea Rigg ridge where dramatic views of Pavey Arc and Harrison Stickle come into view. From here it is a straightforward walk to the rocky protrudence of Sergeant Man. High Raise is now a simple 15 minute walk to reach it's cairn with stunning 360 degree views of many peaks including the Scafells, Great End and Glaramara. We return to Grasmere via the junction of Greenup Edge and Far Easedale.
The B walk will be led by Dom and is approximately 7 miles and 1800 feet.
The aim is to climb Heron Pike from Ambleside. Starting from the bus stop just outside Ambleside (NY 373 038), crossing and then following the River Rothay we will make our way from Ambleside to Rydal Hall. Here begins our ascent of Heron Pike (612m) initially climbing to Nab Scar and enjoying the views as they open up. From Heron Pike we will return to Grasmere via Alcock Tarn.
The C walk will be led by Roger and is approximately 5 miles and 500 – 600 feet.
This is a linear walk finishing in Grasmere. Starting at Scandale bridge we walk through Rydal Park to the impressive Rydal Hall, then along the "coffin route" above white moss common, passing Hollens Farm and into Grasmere via Allen Bank. There is only 1 stile. It is not a high walk but has some great views.
