Wansfell

Walked on 23/06/2004

Start point: Troutbeck (NY 409 032)

Troutbeck – Nanny Lane – Wansfell (77) – Wansfell Pike (78) – Nanny Lane – Troutbeck

Weather: Dull and overcast.

A short walk this morning to Wansfell and Wansfell Pike on a murky day, a complete contrast to yesterday. Wansfell overlooks Ambleside and gives fantastic views of Windermere.

The route starts at Troutbeck and follows a track known as Nanny Lane.
