Distance : 6.2 miles
Route : Castlerigg Farm - Springs Wood - Keswick (town centre) - Friar's Crag - Calfclose Bay - Ashness Bridge - Great Wood - Castlerigg Farm
This was the start of our short break in the Lakes. The initial plan was to go up Walla Crag, but Beth wanted to pop down into Keswick. We went down to Keswick and walked along the side of Derwent Water and eventually arrived at Ashness Bridge. After leaving Ashness Bridge, the weather appeared to be turning a little grim, so we re-routed through Great Wood. My theory here was that if the heavens opened at least the wood would give us a little shelter. Of course, it never rained but Walla Crag can wait for another day.
