Route: We head out of Ambleside, walking on the pavement alongside the A591 before turning right into the grounds of Rydal Hall. The path takes us to the start of our main ascent up to the top of Nab Scar. From here it is simply a case of following a path up hill to Heron Pike, Great Rigg and finally Fairfield where we will stop in the shelter for lunch. Suitably refreshed we walk east toward the top of Hart Crag and then Dove Crag. From here the path descends to High Pike and finally Low Pike before taking us back to Ambleside.
