Route Map
Today's walk takes place in 'the
loveliest square mile in Lakeland' according to Wainwright, in
Borrowdale up to Grange Fell and across the valley to Castle Crag
(incidentally the lowest Wainwright and the only one less than 1000').
It certainly was lovely today as the sun shone and it was very warm with
the merest breeze; a real English summer's day.
