We are the Penrith Ramblers. We open the way for everyone to enjoy the pleasures of walking in our wonderful area.

From the car park at Rosthwaite we cross the B5289 and take the Coast to Coast (and Cumbria Way) footpath towards Stonethwaite, after a mile we turn left uphill through Huddlestons Shop woods and continue to follow this path to Dock Tarn. After the tarn we continue for a while before veering off to the left to do the final ascent of the twin summits of Great Crag. Next we descend to Watendlath Tarn, here we shall have our lunch (public toilets available). After lunch we have our second ascent of the day to Brund Fell (Wainwright's Grange Fell summit). We then descend to return to the car park in Rosthwaite.
The terrain for this walk is a mixture of stony paths, grassy banks and Boggy sections. Although the walk has been graded as moderate, the first ascent through the woods is on a steep, stepped, stone path. Time has been factored into the times to allow people to do this section at their own pace.
