SUNDAY 22nd JUNE 2008
EASY WALK ALONG THE SHORE OF DERWENTWATER RETURNING VIA THE LAUNCH
This walk is for beginners and those who would like an easy stroll on a Sunday.
We walk through Keswick and down to the shore of Derwentwater, walking in a
clockwise direction around the lake to the pier at High Brandelhow on the south
western edge of the lake. From there we will take the launch back to Keswick,
tickets cost around £5. In Keswick there will be the opportunity to stop at a
tea shop or pub.
Grade 1-2 (the path is rocky in parts along the lake shore)
Distance about 8km (5miles)
Time 3-4 hours at a fairly comfortable pace
Meeting 11am at the car park behind Keswick Spa (baths). This car park is free
and if it happens to be full there is plenty of space on the road to park
outside.
Grid Ref NY 270239. From the A66 at Keswick roundabout (only one roundabout near
Keswick on the A66) take the road into Keswick, just past the Esso garage on the
left, turn left and carry on until you reach a mini roundabout. At the mini
roundabout turn right, this takes you into the Keswick Spa and car park area.
Turn left and park on the gravel car park.
If you are coming along the A591, drive towards the centre of Keswick and take a
right hand turn just before the pedestrian crossing. Follow the road round until
you reach the mini roundabout but this time turn left into the Keswick Spa car
park.
Low Wood car share meeting at 10.15am
