6th October 2007 - The Hundreds
Fantastic sunny day.
Started in Ambleside and climbed up Wansfell (around 1600ft). Then a long walk
along the top which is called The Hundreds. Then back along The Hundreds Road -
which is a wonderful drovers road - all the way down to Robin Lane and the well
trodden route back past High Skelghyll and Skelghyll Woods to Ambleside.
About 8 miles I would guess

Across the Hundreds and that view of Windermere |

My favourite curvy path up to High Skelghyll |
That
view of Windermere as the path enters Skelghyll Woods. BTW - We last did this walk in Aug 04. Click here |
The new development in the heart of Bowness has opened. Costa Coffee comes to the Lakes! Not overly sure that is progress though. But the adjoining Tesco is certainly useful as our nearest shop. |
