Grisedale Pike

Leaving the Orthodox Church we first cross Coledale Beck onto the B5292. After a short walk along the road we turn left and take the steep path that climbs along the spine of Grisedale Pike with a short hands on section just prior to the summit. After the summit we head to Hobcarton End before continuing to descend into Whinlatter Forest. Using forest tracks we continue and pass through the Whinlatter Visitor Centre where there will be opportunity for toilets (and maybe, time permitting,  an ice cream). We then continue through the forest before descending alongside Comb Beck to Thornthwaite. From here we take the fairly level path back to our start at Braithwaite.
