Walla Crag

Walked on 24/01/2011

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: Dull but clear. 6°C

Today I did a nice circular route from our Keswick shop up to Walla Crag before dropping back down to Derwent Water for a wander along the lake shore. The weather was ever brightening with a hint of blue sky once down to calm Derwent Water; this is a lovely shorter walk from Keswick and the climb to Walla Crag is relatively easy following this route.
