Inn Way to the Lake District, (Day 1 of 3)
You may not be surprised to read that I’ve almost forgotten how to create a post! Indeed, as I type, everything looks different, but I’ll press on and hope it all comes out OK…
Yes, my friends and I have been on our annual walking trip. This time to the English Lake District. Regular followers will know that I normally do these “Inn Way” walks with my good mate Colin, (see here for example), but the rest of us were struggling to come up with a good, preferably circular, route and I therefore proposed this one. Sadly, Colin couldn’t make it, so it was just the rest of the gang (see pic 1) who toddled (& staggered?) around the adapted route…
The official route is divided into 7 sections, ranging from 11 to 15 or 16 miles each. However, as we planned to do it in our now favoured ‘relay’ format, (to save carrying heavy rucksacks) I adjusted it down to 6, which neatly divided into 2 more or less equal legs each day over 3 days.
We started and finished the walk in Coniston and the first leg would have been around 15 or more miles. I thought this might still prove a few miles too far, (especially for Liam who’s just turned 80) and so it was re-routed to go via Little Langdale instead of Great Langdale.
We mix the pairings up each day and on Day 1, I partnered Pete and Liam from Consiton to Ambleside, while Tim and Dave drove the car to Ambleside and set off from there to the Glaramara Hotel, in Seatoller.
As you will see from the photos below, the weather was fantastic, though I did discover afterwards that my camera had developed a dark blob in the centre. This is hardly visible on the normal photos, but very clear on the panoramic ones. Thankfully it disappeared for Days 2 and 3…
