Starting in Elterwater we will ascend Lingmoor, almost 470m. The route up has some steep sections and will most likely be muddy in parts. Weather permitting, the views from the top are well worth the hike! The route down has some steep parts, expect to have 3 or 4 points of contact.
After Lingmoor the route skirts Blea Tarn and follows Bleamoss Beck to Little Langdale. (more bog!) On the way through Little Langdale we pass Slater Bridge, Colwith and Skelwith Force, and finally stroll back via Elterwater.
There are toilets (card or cash) in Elterwater. Cafe and pub. There is no free parking in the village. Meeting point will be the National Trust car park but there are also car parks just outside the village.
Strenuous because of distance. The walk will be taken at moderate place with plenty of stops.
Note, if you don't know the area, the roads between Grasmere and Elterwater are small and can take more time to negotiate than anticipated.
