We take the track alongside Stonethwaite Beck then a rocky path climbing steadily alongside Greenup Gill. We walk steeply up the steps and rocks (a bit tricky but not technical) to the left side of Lining Crag (500M) and admire the views to the north and east. Continue to Greenup Edge, today’s high point at 620M, and then descend the rocky path to the head of Far Easedale. Our guide then considers several factors and decides to either follow the ridge walk across Calf Crag, Gibson Knott and Helm Crag before descending steeply into Grasmere or take the less arduous route down Far Easedale. Very very wet weather.
• Grasmere is rich in art and poetry. It was once home to the poet Wordsworth.
• There are many little shops, cafes and a few pubs serving evening meals in Grasmere.
• There are several outdoor equipment/clothing shops.
• 09:00 start from Rosthwaite.
