Overview

Starting at Glenridding we climb VERY steadily uphill on a decent but rocky path. We’ll stop often to take in the views as we head up to Red Tarn. The final climb to the top is again rocky, but has a well used path. Fingers crossed, the views from the top will be stunning.

We head downhill via Red Tarn Beck. This is a fairly smooth track with a few steps but it is steep in places so poles would come in handy if you have them. We’ll finish back in Glenridding for a well earned cuppa!
