This was a lovely circular walk where we climbed Wansfell Pike and Wansfell Baystones in mostly warm and sunny conditions. Starting from Ambleside, we passed the Bridge House and the Salutation Hotel and took the road up to the Waterfalls in StockGhyll Woods. After seeing the falls, we proceeded back to the road where we found the path to the summit of Wansfell Pike. This however is not the wainwright so we proceeded on to Baystones in light rain and bagged this summit.
From here we descended to Troutbeck via Nanny Lane where we stopped at the Old Post office Coffee stop for Aplle Pie and Cream. Finally we returned to Ambleside via Robin Lane passing Jenkin Crag on the way.
This was a fabulous route, we highly recommend it, as it gives fabulous views across to Kentmere, Windermere, the Langdales and the Kirkstone Pass.
Enjoy!
