We leave the coach just past Threlkeld and make our way to Westcoe and the Blencathra Centre.
From here we follow the path above Glenderterra Beck to join the Cumbria Way to Skiddaw House, behind which we take the track over Sale How to join the tourist path to the summit of Skiddaw ( 3,053ft ).
Time and legs permitting we will go over Skiddaw Little Man ( 2,837ft ), an extra 190 ft, on our way down to Keswick for refreshments and the coach home.

Starting from Keswick we head along the road towards Castlerigg. From here we accent up a rocky path all the way up to Walla Crag for hopefully fantastic views of Derwent water (our highest point of the walk). From here we decent a little to Falcon crag and then all the way down to Ashness Bridge. Joining a quiet B road (I hope) we pass through Lodore woods on our way to join the B5289.. After a very short spell on this road we make our turn for home by joining field paths to reach the shore of Derwent Water.
The remainder of the walk is a low level walk that takes up all the way up the western shore of the Water, skirting Portinscale and back in to Keswick. I hold my hands up, I haven't managed to recce the whole walk but I have spent time planning it out, so the details I have given should be accurate and the walk promises to be a good one and something a bit different from the usual B+ hills.

This walk begins at Legbuthwait on the A591. We start climbing immediately to Wren Cragg and onto Yew Cragg and from there on a fairly comfortable undulating path to High Rigg. We then take a nice grassy path down to the Youth Centre at St. Johns in the Vale. We then head west to Low Nest.
Time permitting we will visit the Stone Circle if not we'll go through the fields back to Keswick. Happy Days.

Our walk begins today from the coach park in Keswick. Walking along the main street (brief stop for toilets), we take the footpath South East passing Castlehead Wood and continuing through Springs Wood. This is a gradual, slow climb and on a clear day there should good views of the valley. Turning South West we then enter Great Wood from which we descend to cross Borrowdale Road. This brings us to the shores of Derwent Water and from here we will follow the waters edge North West, passing The Ings, Friars Crag, and the Boat House.
From the Theatre we make our way back to Keswick and the coach park. This is a leisurely walk with beautiful scenery and the paths are good.
