Overview

We take the path towards Broad End, dropping down to the A592. Picking up the path towards Baystones (Wainright Summit). We then continue onwards along the wide ridge to Wansfell Pike for great views over Windermere. The descent is down steep steps. We will take a short detour to walk around Stockghyll Force before heading back to the cars along the valley. Please note, there is a steep climb at the end of the walk, up "The Struggle".
