Sorry, I know it gets done to death on here.
I’m hoping to have a day out with the Mrs and The Little One, maybe next week. A possibility is that she could drop me at Whinlatter, I have a quick blast whilst she pushes the pram round the forest or I meet her back in Keswick.
Would it be a good idea to do Grisedale Pike, dropping back towards Keswick in order to meet the family?
Could someone give me, or point me to, good route instructions on how to get up there then which way to go down!? Some things to aim for on an OS map would be helpful, I can’t really work out where the South loop sits in relation to the summit on the map.
I’ve never done the pike before. How long should it take!?
Alternatively, I thought do one of the loops then back down the bridleway to Thornthwaite. Is that worth doing?
Thanks for any advice!
