The walk actually begins and ends in Ambleside, but we hopped on the bus at Whitemoss- no point trying to find a day’s parking space in Ambleside ( especially if you have a bus pass!).
We walked up Stock Ghyll, over Wansfell, had lunch at the Mortal Man, then back round Jenkins crag.
It’s a walk we’ve done many times before, sometimes the other way round.

As it was a hazy day, the photos are poor. This is the gentle path back from Robin’s Lane, with Windermere on the left and the Langdales in the background.

Some people only manage the short walk from Waterhead to Jenkin’s crag. Even on a hazy day the view from Jenkin’s Crag is superb.

Outstanding on this walk were the wild flowers- bluebells, wood sorrel, wild garlic , buttercups, violets, little yellow orchids. The hawthorn trees are also finally bursting into life. Popularly known as “May” trees”, they are just managing to blossom before the end of the month in this late spring.
