From the car park at the front of the old Keswick station, beside the leisure centre and swimming pool, face the station buildings and turn left.

The track weaves its way through the northern suburbs, and under the A66 where shortly after a wooden walkway hugs the crags before returning to the old trackbed. Cross the river Greta once, in 130m (143 yards) just before the next bridge bear left onto the diversion path which is well signed.

This initially drops down, crosses a little flat ground then climbs steeply up amongst trees. Turn right onto the narrower path, marked with a post beside the junction. There follows a pleasant meander to join a somewhat raw bulldozed track. Bear left at the junction to zigzag up to the Brundholme minor road. Turn right onto the road to continue climbing. In about 400m (440 yards) turn sharp left through the gateway onto the eastern end of the ridge to Latrigg.

Follow the track ahead then soon turning left onto Latrigg's eastern ridge. Go through an open gateway along side some woodland, and then shortly after as the track bears gently right, you need to bear left to remain on the ridgeline.

Follow the well spread out 'path' around the edge, through the gate, and onto the gravel path to the summit area.

Continue on the gravel "Limited Mobility" path to the viewpoint overlooking Keswick and Derwent Water.

Descend Latrigg by carrying on along the path to the sign post in a small gully. Take the left fork onto the wide track to join the bridleway on the edge of Gale Ghyll Woods where you turn left heading for Keswick. When the track forks left into the woods keep right to remain on the bridleway. At the bottom of the hill there are signs warning of "Hens in lane". Cross the A66 over the bridge, and at the end of the lane turn left.

The road narrows but has an off road footpath alongside, bear right and continue down to the roundabout. Go straight over to the car park and back to the start.
