Coledale Challenge Route Guide Good luck with your Coledale Challenge! Enjoy the 18-mile journey over five fabulous fells! On route you will find a few first aid trained marshals from Lakeland Mountain Guides who will be more than happy to help you should you need it. Please listen to any advice or orders they may have. Please note there is an official cut off time of 2:30pm at the bottom of the track descent after Coledale Hause. Should you not reach this point by this time you will be asked to officially retire from the event. If you retire from the event you MUST let us know. Please be as environmentally sensitive as you can around this circuit. This includes not dropping litter, picking up litter you see, sticking to the paths and not causing additional erosion, keeping excessive noise to a minimum and shutting gates behind you. There are a few elements of road walking on this route. Please take care when crossing roads. In the event of an emergency then do not hesitate to call 999. If it is mountain related ask for the Police. If you have an issue on route and need a hand please feel free to call the LMG team on: 07557022362 Please note that you will follow ‘Keswick 3 Peaks’ signage until Catbells. After this there will be ‘Coledale Challenge’ branded signage. 1. From the start line you will head out the back of Crow Park onto Crow Park Road. Follow the road straight ahead past the Rugby club and Booths until you hit a mini roundabout. Turn LEFT, pass the cycle shop, cross the bridge and take an immediate left to join the ‘Cumbria Way’ to Portinscale. Follow this path to Portinscale. 2. Once in Portinscale take the first LEFT at the road junction opposite ‘The Chalet’ and follow the road southwards until you reach the entrance to Nichol End Marine. Head down the lane and then up the track next to the café. Continue to follow the Cumbria Way through the woodland. Dead ahead you will see a mountain rising steeply, that is your first mountain – Catbells. Cross straight over the first road you come to and follow the sign for ‘Catbells’. 3. Ascend Catbells via its spine to the summit. Enjoy the short scrambles and epic views. 4. Continue over the summit for your descent and after 400m you’ll see a track through the bracken trending down and rightwards. Take this path. 5. After a further 300m there is a crossroads in the path. Continue straight across and down through the rockier terrain. You will see a flatter track emerge from a waterfall below and you’re aiming for this. As you hit the wall continue along the path keeping the wall on your right-hand side. 6. After a further 300m the path starts to bend to the left. Keep straight here and work your way down to the road at Little Town. 7. When you hit the road, turn LEFT and follow the road downhill to the small bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the road back round to the right. Ignore the turn towards Newlands Church. Follow the road all the way up to where it meets the Newlands Pass road. 8. Turn Right and after just 100m you’ll come to a hairpin bridge. On the far side of this a footpath leaves the road and heads westwards (LEFT). Take this path. 9. Follow this sometimes-rugged track for two miles. Shortly after the path flattens (and just before it starts to descend) it is time to cut back right and head up towards ‘Sail Col’. There will be a marshal at this junction to help you make the correct turn. 10. When you reach the crossroads at ‘Sail Col’ hang a Left and take the obvious winding path all the way to the top of Sail. 11. Continue over the summit of Sail and then pick your way through the rockier ridge that leads to the summit of Crag Hill / Eel Crag. 12. From the summit of Crag Hill follow the obvious downhill path that heads south-west (left from the direction you were travelling from to reach the trig point). Continue down the path until you reach yet another crossroads. Turn RIGHT at the crossroads. 13. Enjoy easy walking as you steadily descend around to Coledale Hause, the large and obvious grassy col. 14. Head directly across the col and take the path that descends into the Coledale Valley (Eastward – heading towards Keswick). There will be a marshal at the col to point you in the right direction. 15. Descend carefully, first down a zig zag path and then on a rocky track for just over a mile. 16. Towards the bottom of the track it starts to bend leftward and at this point you will take a faint grassy track off it to the right – heading back uphill! Dig deep for this mammoth 260m ascent. You must reach this point by 2:30pm or you will be forced to descend and drop out of the challenge by the marshal. At this point you can easily drop out of the challenge. Continue down to the flat track that leads out of the valley instead of heading uphill. Follow this all the way to the tarmacked road above Braithwaite. Turn Right into Braithwaite and head for the A66 and follow it back in towards Keswick. If you do drop out don’t forget to let us know! 17. Up to your left you will see the grassy peak of Outerside. Head for the summit of this peak. 18. Continue over the summit of Outerside. You will see another small peak dead ahead. This peak is Stile End and you need to weave your way through the tracks to the summit of this. 19. From the summit of Stile End you need to descend to the south-east (RIGHT as you approached the summit). There is a third and final peak ahead. This is the peak of Barrow and you are aiming to get to the summit of it via the obvious track leading up it from the col between Stile End and Barrow. 20. Continue over the summit of Barrow and descend the grassy ridge all the way down to the farm (Braithwaite Lodge) at the bottom. 21. Go through the first gate towards the farm and then the second wider gate. Turn RIGHT immediately. Soon there is another gate, head through this and then follow the grassy track around into the next field until it descends through another gate to the tarmacked road. 22. Turn RIGHT when you get to the road. After a very short distance there is a fork in the road at which you take the left option. Follow the road through the village of ‘Little Braithwaite’, cross the bridge and continue to follow the road, ignoring all footpath options to the sides. 23. You will reach a junction where a road joins from the left and a white signpost marked for ‘Ullock’. Turn LEFT here. 24. Continue on this road for about half a mile. After passing through another small collection of houses and farm buildings a public footpath breaks off the road to the left, heading to Portinscale. Take this. 25. Follow the obvious trail through the fields and up the narrow lane into Portinscale. At the top of the first lane there is a crossroads. Head straight over (left a tad and then continue essentially) and follow this until you hi the main road running through Portinscale. 26. Turn RIGHT at the road and follow it with care to where it bends to the right. This is now familiar ground and you are looking to turn LEFT (Green Public Footpath Sign for Keswick) on the bend and take the same roads/ paths back to the festival site. .

  • Newlands Valley Walk

    Newlands Valley Walk

    Newlands Valley Walk You can start this walk from virtually anywhere in the Newlands valley; I started from a couple of our Lake District cottages at Birkrigg on the Newlands Pass. Walk down the road in the direction of Keswick, you will soon come to a tight bend at Rigg Beck where the ‘Old Purple House’ used to stand. There is now a Grand Designs style house on the site but the purple colour remains on the roof garden and the front door. Carry on along the pass till you come across a gate on the right hand side and a finger post indicating a footpath beyond the gate. The path leads down into the valley fields and across a minor road. A track climbs up the other side of the valley and emerges at Skelgill. Walk through the farmyard and turn immediately back on yourself to join the path that runs alongside Catbells, towards the old mines at Yewthwaite. After about half a mile, the path descends into Little Town where you can enjoy a well earned cup of tea at the farm tea room. Now there are two options from Little Town. For a longer walk, go back up onto the track and carry on down the valley. This will take you to the old mines at Goldscope where you can peer into the open shafts on the side of Hindscarth. Alternatively you can walk along the road towards Chapel Bridge and stroll down the lane to the pretty little church. The church serves tea and cake on weekends and during the summer.

    My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership Number: 3812 First Fell Climbed

    My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership number: 3812 First fell climbed: Coniston Old Man, 6 April 2003 Last fell climbed: Great End, 14 October 2019 I was a bit of a late-comer to the Lakes. My first visit was with my family when I was 15. We rented a cottage in Grange for a week at Easter. Despite my parents’ ambitious attempts to cajole my sister Cath and me up Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, the weather turned us back each time. I remember reaching Sty Head and the wind being so strong my Mum was blown over. My sister, 18 at the time, eventually just sat down in the middle of marshy ground somewhere below the Langdale Pikes and refused to walk any further. I didn’t return then until I was 28. It was my Dad’s 60th and we took a cottage in Coniston in April 2003. The Old Man of Coniston became my first summit, and I also managed to get up Helvellyn via Striding Edge with Cath and my brother-in-law Dave. Clambering along the edge and up on to the still snow-capped summit was thrilling. A love of the Lakes, and in particular reaching and walking on high ground, was finally born. Visits to the Lakes became more regular after that, but often only for a week a year as work and other commitments limited opportunities. A number of favourites established themselves: the Langdale Pikes; Lingmoor Fell; Catbells and Wansfell among them. I gradually became more ambitious in the peaks I was willing to take on.

  • Inn Way to the Lake District

    Inn Way to the Lake District

    Walking Holidays in Britain’s most Beautiful Landscapes Inn Way to the Lake District The Lakes Inn Way is a 90 mile circular walk starting and finishing in the popular tourist town of Ambleside. This trail takes in some of the more remote corners of the Lake District, and takes you through the Lake District’s stunning deep sided valleys, along lake shores and over remote mountain passes – as well as past over 40 traditional Lakeland inns. The full route takes you through the popular tourist towns of Ambleside, Coniston, and Grasmere (site of Dove Cottage, former home of the Romantic Poet Wordsworth), as well as through a few of the Lake District’s most impressive valleys – Borrowdale, Ennerdale, and Great Langdale, linked together with paths over high mountain passes, with great views of the surrounding fells. A highlight is a visit to remote Wasdale Head, in the shadow of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. Why is the route known as the Inn Way to the Lake District? Because it is devised so that at each day the route passes a pub at lunchtime and there will always be one nearby – or you will be staying in one – at each overnight stop. There are many traditional Lakeland Inns to choose from, – so you can plan your trip looking forward to log fires, local ales and good food, often made with local produce.

    The Fred Route-Pdf

    The Fred Whitton Challenge. 5 of us arrived, full of enthusiasm and some trepidation, in Keswick the night before and headed out by 6.30 to begin some serious, but inconclusive, carbo- loading research. The busy Italian supplied excellent spag bol, lasagna and chicken with beer and wine. The town was lively as we moved on to the numerous local Taverns in order to broaden our data. Despite the lack of a definitive answer it does appear Cider can be counter productive. As we set up our bikes “The Fred” gave us a taste of the challenge to come with a heavy, cold shower and strong wind, We checked in and set off by 7.30 am, in driving wind and freezing rain, went past the head of Coniston water and straight onto the first climb of the day, Hawkshead Hill, which at least warmed us as the rain eased. All our plans to ‘take it easy’ and aim for an average 13mph were forgotten covering the 7 or so miles to Ambleside at between 20 and 25mph. Windermere was looking good but after just over a mile we turned left up the very steep Holbeck Lane climb to Troutbeck, the first BIG climb of the day, up Kirkstone pass. (454m, 14.7 miles covered). There were lots of supporters at the top, as at all the summits, and their encouragement spurred us on. Being the highest pass, there’s a long and steep descent, which was tiring and difficult because we had to ride the brakes on a steep, slippery, long descent.
