Christmas Day on Loughrigg Fell

Distance: 7 miles
Ascent: 450m
Weather: cloudy,  rain on way back

After a sensible breakfast,  we set off to walk up Loughrigg Fell.  We didn't go by Loughrigg Tarn as planned as the footpath doesn't go as far along the road as we'd hoped, so headed up the footpath from Clappersgate and then along the tops to Blackmire and the summit. 

We descended by the rocky path down to Loughrigg Terrace (where we stopped for tea and fizzy jelly chocolate in the drizzle)  and walked the higher path past the cave, complete with carollers.
