Route Map
Today we took the opportunity to get out in
the sunshine for a walk up to Wansfell from Troutbeck. The
wind was cold on the top and a thick band of cloud hid the
tops of the nearby higher fells, so I think we made the
right decision - a great shorter walk.

The Fairfield group.
A heavy band of cloud hangs over the
Kirkstone Pass with Red Screes to the left and Caudale Moor to the
right. The Kirkstone Pass Inn is visible in the centre.
