| Pleasant but unsettled weather so we had a low commitment walking day. Started from NY 312230 (spaces for 2 cars); riverside with pair of Dippers fp then up nice slopes to St Mary's Church, clearly used path direct to Low Rigg, where a wall stile would help. Back via Tewet Tarn (Goosander, Dabchick), Shundrew and Low End via pleasant RoWs. Despite going over the High Rigg tops a few times, this was our first visit to Low Rigg.

| On a solo 555 linear bus walk/ jog from Swirls car park to Keswick on a beautiful sunny autumnal day. Down to shorts as the warmth of weak mid day sun just about beat the chill of the NE breeze. Lovely gentle angle km jog down N path through soggy bits -the lanes passing the well signed and wonderfully located for its views - Stone Circle - quick look and wonder, as were 20+ tourists. I was last here in 1997 with a youth development group for Prince's Trust doing stone rubbings and playing the drums and face painting! | Chris Pearson | 21/11/2023 |
