It's been a long time since I walked up here, but it's not changed. If Loughrigg was human it would have a big fat bum - not very high but quite wide. Last time here I had a film camera, so I needed to do this again for the website - a good excuse eh.
I stayed up at the Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank south of Windermere - a good deal at £99 DBB for 2. There's another offer in March
Loughrigg is very popular for walks along the terrace as it's easily accessible from Ambleside and Grasmere, and being a Sunday it was fairly popular with
families. We walked from Rydal around past the old quarry caves, along the terrace and up a short steep pull to the trig point. After that it was a wander down and around back to Rydal. It was about 7 miles and there was an ice cream van at Pelter Bridge to finish the walk.
