Route Map


 

Following the weather forecast, today was a day to fill in some of the gaps and complete those fells left out of other walks. Not a day for photographs, by mid afternoon everything was wet! Diva was cold, time for the shops of Bowness and Ambleside before hitting the bunkhouse and the pub.
