Departure from Lakes (Westmorland and Furness)
This is a short walk with a lot of interest.

A lovely walk to see Elter Water and Loughrigg Tarn. This can be a popular walk during the summer months especially until the waypoint (5).
Good navigation is needed between waypoints (5) and (8) as the path is not visible especially in summer with all the vegetation.
This is a dog friendly route.
