Route Map

Weather: Clearing throughout the walk, ending with sunshine and blue skies!

Today's walk is a short round from Troutbeck to two tops on Applethwaite Common, namely Sour Howes and Sallows. The weather started clearing almost as soon as I set off after initially being rather overcast...hooray! There are superb views along almost the whole length of Windermere and along Troutbeck Park throughout the walk.
