The Eskdale Round Walk

About 9 people are coming are to this walk. It is 15 miles round and will take 12 hours to complete and total ascent is 6,500 feet. It is D3 grade.

Ian says "You need to be really fit and well prepared for that walk. Each member should bring their own compass and map with them becuase it is a very long walk round. Make sure we go on the right path otherwise we will not be able to get back in time."

The walk will start at Brotherilkeld,Eskdale, NY212011.

Some walkers have booked a B&B in Ambleside and Eskdale for Sat and Sun night.

Meet at 6.30am in Deafway Car Park

The Northern Fells

I will go for this tough walk again because on the following day it will be Bank Holiday Day, so you can rest on Monday and be fresh ready for work on Tuesday. I hope this is ok for you.

It will be a 18 mile round. Starting from Latrigg car park about a mile from Keswick, we will walk up to Skiddaw summit 931m and along with other 5 summits if we can make it. Of course, depends on the weather.

Meet me at Latrigg car park at 7.45am and we should set off at 8am if we can. Some of you can stay B/B at Keswick or camping. Keswick has plenty of hotels.

Please let me know if you are coming with us as soon as possible.

Up to 20 miles.
