​27th September 2009 - Wansfell and Troutbeck Tongue via Caudale Moor

Walk Details

​Distance walked: 12.2 miles

Total ascent: 3605 ft

OS map used: OL7 - The English Lakes, South-eastern area

Route description: Troutbeck-Nanny Lane-Wansfell Pike-Baystones-Kirkstone Road-Broad End-St. Raven's Edge-Caudale Moor-Threshthwaite Mouth-Park Fell-Troutbeck Tongue-Lowther Brow-Long Green Head-Limefitt Park-Troutbeck

I did this walk to bag a couple of new Wainwrights in one walk, Wansfell and Troutbeck Tongue. From Troutbeck I made my way up Nanny Lane to Wansfell Pike. I then followed the ridge along to Baystones before crossing the Kirkstone road to make my way up St Raven's Edge to the summit of Caudale Moor. From there it was down to Threshthwaite Mouth and then across Park Fell to eventually arrive at the summit of Troutbeck Tongue. I then made my way back to Troutbeck on the bridleway to Limefitt Park.
