Popular Trips in Lake District, UK
An afternoon walk taking in the ridge from Coniston Old Man to Swirl How.

The north ridge route is varied - woodland,...

southern most part of Ullswater, parking for an extortionate £7 in the car park. There is loads of on street parking around, so we wont be making that mistake again. We set out at 11:30 and started the climb. It was a steep, almost from the start! Mark was slow, but nowhere near as slow as he had been at the
