Rigg Beck
We decided to walk up the road from the cottage to where the path up Rigg Beck begins. Great walk up the valley as far as the path really starts to climb up the hillside. Spectacular views up and down the valley and to the sides the flanks of Causey Pike and Ard Crags on either side. We were out for a two and a half hours and then returned to the cottage for some lunch.

After lunch we drove the few miles to the Whinlatter forest visitors centre and did one of the waymarked walks around the forest. Apart from great views (as usual) the highlight was spotting a couple of roe deer grazing in the forest.

After the forest we drove back to the cottage and as it was still such a glorious day (around 5pm ) I took a walk up Cat Bells. Down the valley across Gyll Bank and up the side of the fell. After the short scramble to the summit, I walked along the ridge to Gate Hause and then dropped down to the path which runs along the side of the fell and then back across the valley. Nice thing about this walk was no maps, compass, bags etc…just a camera.
About 7 miles in total - English Lakes OL4
