Gear shopping in Ambleside (new helmet & trainers, but not for me!), followed by some reasonably awesome raspberry cheesecake set us up for a wander up and over Wansfell, dropping off the far side of the hill into Troutbeck and around the southern end of the ridge back to town. Atmospheric views across Loughrigg with Crinkle Crags, Bowfell, the Scafells and Langdale Pikes in the distance made up for the threat of rain. Walking back behind Townend and other beautiful properties in Troutbeck kept the interest up. I must Google "Skelgarth" sometime - the grand gateposts at Jenkin's Crag are rather spooky, guarding a grand looking drive leading, apparently, nowhere...
