We are the Penrith Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting from the pretty village of Mungrisdale, there will be a short road walk of just under one mile before we head off and take the path up to the atmospheric Bowscale Tarn. From here it is a steep ascent up to our first top of the day - Bowscale Fell. Next, there is easy walking around Bannerdale Crags to the cairn. A gradual descent following the Glenderamackin River and with spectacular views of Sharp Edge on Blencathra will take us to our next ascent up to Souther Fell. Again, it will be a gradual descent off back to our starting point - there is a very short section (approximately 5 metres) down rocks which would be slippery if wet and care will be needed. There are good paths throughout although once on the tops, it can be boggy and wet.
Penrith RUFC Car Park
