April 23, 2026,Ullswater. Loadpot Hill and Wether Hill loop from Martindale

Really fantastic hike in beautiful weather. Warm temperature, gentle breeze and bright sunshine all day. Nice elevation to start, leading to the hills on the east side of Ullswater giving magnificent views. Back downhill to the lake edge and following the Ullswater Way back to St. Peter’s Church (parking) at Martindale. Great day 😎
