Orrest Head (OF) from Windermere

Distance: 1.3 miles     Total Ascent: 105 metres     Time Taken: 30 minutes     Start Time: 09:20

Time for a quick jaunt up to Orrest Head before lunch, ascending the back way is much better than via the usual signposted path – it was a very pleasant wander on an early summer day.
