Pretty easy going, potentially snowly but low level. Approximately 8 miles which is around 5 hours.

Great walk taking in some of the famous sights of the Lake District with Loughrigg & Loughrigg Tarn, Grasmere and then onto Rydal Water.

Starting from the Ambleside YHA which i'll be staying at on the Sunday, Monday (NYE - See other walk) & Tuesday nights so feel free to join me but book early! Can't think of a better outdoory place to have a few drinks on NYE.

I can't think of a better outdoory place to have a few drinks on NYE.  If you aren't staying over i'll let you know where in Elterwater we are starting from closer to the time.  Remember to use the ODL discount code if your staying in the YHA TRADE2-17 but I'm sure there will be still plenty of other accommodation in the village.

You can make your own food arrangements but i'm sure some people will eat in the hostel or the local pubs.  NYE night if your staying i'd suggest we could go to the local bars in the town later on or stay in the hostel bar.  I'll let you know times to meet in the evenings etc closer to the time ?

 

In the heart of the Lake District lies the typically Lakeland fell of Loughrigg, which is fascinating to climb, but just as much fun to walk around. After the initial short sharp climb out of Ambleside to the beautifully located Lily Tarn the walk is easy and full of interest. Loughrigg Tarn, the terrace on Loughrigg Fell with its superb views and the quiet lakeside walk beside Rydal Water are all highlights.

There is never a dull moment on the entire circuit which includes so much of what makes the Lake District the best place to walk in England. A major part of the reason for the ongoing interest is the changing views , starting with the the southern fells around Coniston and Windermere but changing to the north with glimpses of Blencathra – a real Lakeland perspective.
