We've added some longer Lake District walks
Beth and Jessie are back from their fourth trip and we've got some more walks on the site including two longer ones:
Fox Ghyll from the Loughrigg Fell walk
- Helvellyn round from Thirlmere is gentle warm up through the woods above Thirlmere Reservoir before climbing into the mountains means you can avoid much of the bustle and scrambling on Striding and Swirrel Edges. At 15km with 1100m ascent it is still a serious mountain walk but it is not especially difficult or arduous.
- Misty Skiddaw is a pretty much a linear walk up Skiddaw, with a short diversion to take in Skiddaw Little Man and Lesser Man1.
- Loughrigg Fell on the doorstep of Ambleside this walk up Loughrigg Fell makes for a surprisingly mountainous walk. It also passes a large cave you can visit which has stepping stones to its interior.
We hope you enjoy them!
- If you're a Birkett bagger this walk is particularly good value as all three are Birketts and it also includes three more Birketts: Skiddaw South Top, Skiddaw Middle Top, and Skiddaw North Top.
