Loughrigg Terrace and Tarn

Distance: 8 miles
Ascent: 350m
Weather: chilly, misty

Today was cold, with patches of misty clouds in the valleys. Let down by the Co-Op and their lack of cheese ploughman's, lunch was got at the Spar.

We headed out through the park and along the lane to Pelter Bridge, then along the river bank to Rydal Water and along Loughrigg Terrace.

There were fewer people around on the path away from the lakes and at the arboretum at High Close and a few, but not as many as feared, at Loughrigg Tarn.

We returned along the bridleway track under Ivy Crag over the edge of the fell, stopping to take many sheep photos.
