Overview

A fantastic circular walk starting in Ambleside ascending Wansfell Pike and then on to Troutbeck.  From Troutbeck we return to Ambleside via Robins Lane.  The ascent from Ambleside is steep but once at the top of Wansfell Pike it’s downhill to Troutbeck.  The return has some gentle ascent before descending into Ambleside.  Once back in Ambleside we will go for post walk refreshments.

As this is a hill walk please wear the appropriate walking boots.  There is likely to be mud in places.

In the event of bad weather a lower level alternative will be provided.  Sorry, no dogs.

(Also, to be aware the Christmas Meal for Hike on Lancashire Ramblers members is planned for Sunday 22 December 2024. Can you please let Dave Morris know by end of Sunday 3 November, on morrid02@icloud.com if you want to be included.)
