It is the responsibility of each walker to make sure they understand where to park. If you are not sure where the car parking/meeting point is, you must contact the walk leader at the latest the day before the walk. You should not rely on mobile phones or postcodes. There is often no mobile reception near walk meeting points and postcodes are for the nearest place nearby but should only serve as a guideline. Please allow plenty of time to find a parking space so that walks can start promptly.
Description: This will be another Sunday amble. From the A592, taking the small road N-E to the start of the path near Green Rigg house with a gentle ascent up to Boredale Hause then turning North for a steady ascent to the Summit. For those wanting a shorter route you can return the same way. Your leader intends to continue and descend down the north slope. The path is less defined and over exposed rocks in some areas (can walk around). It eventually loops back Southward to pick up the Ullswater Way whereby we will continue south to Side Farm, take the minor road to rejoin the A592 and decide where to lunch.
Please check the weather and bring appropriate clothing (waterproofs and spare warm clothing), footwear and enough food and water. The leader reserves the right to turn away any walker not suitably equipped. The leader may cancel the walk or modify the route dependent on conditions.
New members: please note the walk leader may ask for more information about your walking experience. This is to ensure you have the fitness required to complete the walk that is planned safely.
