We’ll be head west from Elterwater heading up into the Langdale Valley surrounded by the Awesome Pikes, eventually reaching the Old Dungeon Ghyll. From there we’ll head back mostly along the river, returning via Chapel Stile to Elterwater where the hospitable Britannia Inn should be available for refreshments.
