Last day of our holiday. The day was just too nice to go straight home. So we went over Hardnott and Wrynose Pass, accompanied by the whiff of overheating clutch to Ambleside.
After the quiet of Eskdale even the muted bustle of Ambleside seems a bit much.
This is a popular walk for any visitor to Ambleside. it can be done straight from the town without the need of further travel. The views are great and the paths are well laid (no bogginess).
