Description:
Due to wet weather conditions, I have decided to change the route to a low level circular walk around Crummock Water.
The starting point is the same – Scalehill Bridge National Trust Car Park. We will walk clockwise round the lake. We take the main path through Lanthwaite Wood and take the footpath along the eastern shore of Crummock, walking past the boathouse. This shore path ends up on the road which we will follow just for a short time before taking the path that goes over Rannerdale Knotts. We then head down into Buttermere and towards the western shore path. Depending on the weather, we could take a left and go and see Scale Force, before heading back to the lake side path. We follow the side of the lake, all the way back to Lanthwaite Wood and the car park.
Distance: Approx 10 miles / 16 km
Time: 6 hours max

Please check the weather and bring appropriate clothing and enough food and water. It is likely to be very wet underfoot this weekend.
