A Wainwright

A great route taking in some of the most spectacular scenery in the Lake District including the summits of Silver How and Blea Rigg as well as descending by Easdale Tarn and Sour Milk Gill.

From Grasmere we will take the track past Allan Bank, one of the homes of William Wordsworth and climb by Wray Gill to the summit of Silver How.

Although not one of the higher summits in the Lake District, Silver How offers some remarkable views, from the summit there is a glorious view down over Grasmere and Rydal Water with Windermere beyond.

From Silver How we follow the ridge west, passing Lang How and Swinescar Pike before climbing to the rocky summit of Blea Rigg.

From Blea Rigg our route descends north, dropping down to the beautiful Easdale Tarn and then taking the main path down from the tarn by Sour Milk Gill back towards Easdale and Grasmere.

The route is very flexible with several routes down from the Silver How / Blea Rigg ridge making it easy to shorten or extend this route depending on the needs of the group.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.
