Our first tour in the Lake District. First in a pleasant ascent through the green forest, then at the top enjoying the wide view of the lake landscape, what more could you want...

Nice walk down from Wansfell Pike past ricky outcrops then descending into the woodland. Glimpses of Windermere through the trees!
