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

Starting from Huck’s Bridge we climb up the rough stone track of the Breasthigh Road until we reach the ridge line. We then walk the undulating ridge taking in several of the hilly tops until we reach the A685 and then head down to Borrow Beck. We’ll follow the river on a farm track and then cross over to walk along Low & High Borrowdale back to pick up the Breasthigh Road again and then head back down towards the cars.
Fingers crossed for good weather and fabulous views from the top.
The terrain is varied, mostly with good tracks and of course a few boggy areas! Part of the return route has a narrow track and a walking pole May be a useful. It’s very exposed on the ridge so please come prepared.
The Rugby Club is located on Carleton Ave. Don’t follow the post code as this doesn’t lead to the car park.
The lay-by at Huck’s Bridge is on the A6 approx 10 mins south of Shap and is on the right hand side.
