A late decision on where to go, we decided to catch the 12:15 ferry from Ambleside to Bowness and walk back.
We collected lunch from Tesco and walked along the road via the rugby ground to the church in Windermere, where we headed up towards Orrest Head, but turned off along the fields towards The Causeway Farm without visiting the top. We were then on the Windermere Way, which we followed back, apart from a necessary detour in Troutbeck because of a missing bridge.
There was quite a steep bit of up, as we followed the lane to Town End, then up the bridleway along Robin Lane - don't recall seeing any robins here, but there was a very nice sunset over Claife Heights.
It was quite dark by the time we stopped briefly to admire the views over Windermere off Jenkin's Crag and walked down the wet rocky path down into Ambleside.
