Wansfell Pike

Walked on 06/12/2005

Start point: Troutbeck (NY 409 032)

Wansfell Pike from Troutbeck via Nanny Lane

Distance: 2.5 miles     Total Ascent: 300 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: Sunny but cold. 5ºC.

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.
