Time: 6/7 Hours approx.
Starting from: Ambleside
Postcode: LA22 9AS Price: £20 per person / Family tickets available
The Route:
From Ambleside we will follow the Rydal road a short distance before crossing the fields to Rydal. A steep ascent will then lead onto Nab Scar.
A long but easy walk will then lead along the ridge to the summit of Fairfield.
We will continue along the ridge to Hart Crag and Dove Crag before the long descent over High Pike and Low Pike before descending to High Sweeden Bridge and the track back into Ambleside.
Although this is one of our longer routes after the first steep climb it is a fairly easy ridge walk, although long. We do however take it gently, we have all day to compete the walk!
