Walla Crag

Walked on 05/06/2013

Start point: Love the Lakes, Keswick (NY 266 233)

Love the Lakes, Keswick – Springs Road – Springs Wood – Rakefoot – Walla Crag – Derwent Water – Love the Lakes, Keswick

Distance: 4.9 miles     Total Ascent: 322 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes     Start Time: 11:15

Weather: Summer! 20oC.

Phew, what a scorcher as the run of superb weather continues in the Lakes. The day started off cloudless but soon built up after I set off from Keswick (in shorts at last!). a few weeks ago it felt like summer would never come…

Firstly, a few from the other day…
