Distance: 9.8 miles
Ascent: 650m
Weather: cloudy
Swans, mallards, goosander, tufty duck, heard buzzard, long tailed tits.
With rain due in the afternoon and the forecast of gales downgraded, we set off early(ish) over Loughrigg Fell.
The flooding in the park from yesterday's rain had drained away, and the road was clear. We saw a red squirrel (and robin) not long after setting off up the lane.
It was windy on the top and coming down the exposed hillside into Grasmere. We decided to take the longer side around into the village and return along the coffin route, via Rydal Hall, into Ambleside.
