We are planning to do part of the Ullswater Way, a 20 mile route that circumnavigates the lake with some spectacular views. This leg is about 10 miles.
Meeting point: Pooley Bridge pier
Start time: meet at 10.30am – departing Pooley Bridge Pier at 11am on the Ullswater steamer
Distance: about 10 miles
Duration: approx 4 hours
Description:
Leisurely walk, low level and gentle terrain so not too tough. Undulating path with up and down stretches.
We will get the boat to Glenridding and then walk from back from Glenridding to Pooley Bridge. The walk will take in Aira Force waterfall and Gowbarrow (a Wainwright).
The Ullswater steamer requires that passengers wear a face mask. The ticket may need to be pre-booked. Please speak to the walk leader prior to booking and check the website: https://www.ullswater-steamers.co.uk/timetable-fares/. You will be responsible for booking your own ticket.
At the end of the walk there will be an opportunity to have refreshments at Pooley Bridge.
Please contact Lesley on number removed by Wednesday 29 July at the latest to confirm numbers. Please note social distancing will be expected. It is also advisable to bring gloves and/or hand sanitiser when opening/closing gates and stiles.
