A walk along the Whinfell Ridge

KIDSTYPIKE · #1 (**permalink**) 26-08-2007, 08:09 PM

My walk today took me to the Eastern side of the Lake District on the Shap Fells. I was parked on the A6 near Huck's Bridge for 7:45am from where I gained access to the fells. The ridge is an undulating walk and runs from the A6 to the M6 with some lovely views. My return was along the Borrowdale valley.

Dist: 11.00 miles Ascent: 2500 feet Time: 5h 45m

Hi Dave, thanks for sending me the link to your website - all I can say is wow! I have only skimmed it for now, but I no doubt I will spend hours more going through your wonderful accounts of your walks and photo's. Being a Cumbrian myself and taking every chance possible to walk when I get back - it pulled a few heartstrings at what I am missing

No problem, I just hope that you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed being able to Take them.

Hi Dave,

Sounds like a good walk! I vaguely remember that area, especially the 'other' Borrowdale, from childhood holidays.

I'll wait until you get to 25 posts and can add a link to your site in your signature. I'm sure it won't be long, and I look forward to seeing your site.

I love Borrowdale. I was up there back in July we had some fantastic walks. Did white sands and also did a walk up to sprinkling tarn for a swim!

Wrong Borrowdale Jez.....this one is on the far eastern side of the Lake District between the A6 and M6 just NE of Kendal.

I forgot to mention that there are a couple of pictures in the Gallery from the walk (Northern England section). Just 2 out of the 37 that are on my site.
