Walla Crag

Walked on 01/09/2015

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: 2 hours     Start Time: 10:00

Weather: Overcast but warm. 17°C

Today I took the opportunity for a relatively quick walk from Keswick (in between shop stock deliveries!) up to Walla Crag. Although dull to start with, the weather was ever improving throughout the walk. This walk will feature in a future edition of Trail magazine.
