“For the man who wants to get away from it all”

A Wainwright

A great short walk from Keswick, climbing to the summit of Latrigg a great viewpoint on the lower slopes of the Skiddaw fells.

From Keswick our route takes us across the park to Spooney Green Lane, this wonderfully named track leads us across the A66 to the wooded fellside beyond, turning off the track we climb through the thick woods at Whinney Brow and follow the good track to Brundholme Woods before reacing the eastern shoulder of Latrigg.

Once above the woods we climb the grassy ridge west to the summit of Latrigg and the stunning views south over Keswick.

Our descent from Latrigg takes us down the good path to the north west to reach the upper section of Spooney Green Lane, following this back to Keswick.

We do not have a set minimum age for this event, however, you know your child best, therefore please bear in mind this is an open event of varying ages, if you are not confident your child can complete this event then hiring a private guide could be a more suitable option.

As this is an open event all under 18's must be accompanied by an adult.

We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Friday, 22 September 2017

Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.

However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.
