Walk Overview
This walk, completed pre-website walking journal days in 2002 was actually done from
Kewick Town centre. The route depicted above is from the "tourist" track that starts
from Gale Road. Suitable for push chairs and young children alike this is probably
the easiest route of completing a Wainwright summit that there can be out of all the 214.
The pictures taken for this walk came from 2019 after we had an aborted attempt
on the day to climb Mungrisdale Common.

A dark foreboding sky greets us as we set off from the car park. The manufactured
path provides even walking all the way round to the top
There is even a bench should you require a little rest before carrying on to the summit.
As you can see from Jones (the Bastard) it`s very windy
As you swing round to the summit there are fine views to be had over Keswick
and Derwent Water
The actual summit was too crowded for lunch so we chose this point a few yards away
Looking towards Skiddaw to the North
Looking towards Blencathra to the East
Jones (the Bastard) waiting patiently for his dinner
At last a quiet opportunity presented itself to have some summit time
OK Jones we are going back down now before the rain sets in
