B Walk

Barrow & Outerside

8 Miles Grade 2

Leader: Sandra Stockley

As I will be taking my 2 dogs can the A walkers please walk up the road towards Whinlatter and meet me at the start of the Force Crag mine road which we follow for 2 miles before crossing Coledale Beck and following the main path for a little while before turning off and making our own way up the fell by following the stream (no path) The aim is to climb the ridge up onto Eel Crag which is visible as we walk the mine road. This involves a little bit of scrambling between about 550 mtrs and 800 mtrs but nothing too difficult - just adding a bit of interest. From Eel Crag the descent is a scree into Coledale Hause where lunch beside the falls of Gasgale Gill is planned. Then a steady climb onto Grisedale Pike followed by the long descent via Sleet How. Distance is 8 mls and it will take 5.5 to 6

Lovely path up to Helm Crag; variable paths (avoidable peaty bits) to Gibson Knott and Calf Crag. A fine descent down the long valley by Far Eastern Gill. An extra mile to save parking charges! It took me some time as it rained all day so the rocks were wet but hope to be down by 4pm on a nice sunny Oct 5th. 
 
Hope to see you.

C Walk

Braithwaite to Keswick

6 Miles Grade 4

Leader: John McKay

 

 

  

 



 

 

 

 

Coach Walk: Rosehill 8.50am, Sands 9.00am

We will take plenty of time to ascend  these hills.  From  Braithwaite Lodge the 1200 feet to Barrow’s summit is moderately steep but we’ll then stop for coffee.  On to Stile End then another 600 feet to Outerside and that’s the end of our climb.  Dwarfed by nearby Grisedale and Causey Pikes these Fells nevertheless provide wonderful views of Skiddaw and beyond.  Descend to Stair and return via Newlands Beck, Ullock (from the old Norse words ulfr leikr – place where wolves show off for mating – and still used in the word lekking, when game birds display before mating) and Portinscale for tea and cake in Treeby and Bolton, meeting the coach at Booths at 4.45pm.

We head off out of Braithwaite passing the caravan park & campsite and on to Little Braithwaite. We join the path alongside Newlands Beck and stay on this path for a couple of miles, heading south, till we reach Rowling End Farm then turn east for Skelgill and on to join the Cumbria Way. We stay on the Cumbria Way all the way to Keswick passing through Portinscale on route. A lovely gentle walk, no hills and we will take it nice and slow. We will stop for lunch when we feel like it.
