Terrain Overview
Walk Overview
A short walk from Nanny Lane in Troutbeck along a well defined path.
The walk starts near the Mortal Man pub and car parking is at a premium
along the main track through the village
A path is followed between the houses and the bottom of Nanny Lane
and initially climbs quite steeply
Looking back to the Mortal Man pub
The track continues to rise steeply
The more height we gained the colder it became, here looking across
the Troutbeck Valley towards Froswick and Ill Bell
The Wansfell / Wansfell Pike ridge line
This is looking at the direct route up to Wansfell
We decide to continue along the path, being the less steep option which does
eventually lead to the summit

As we journeyed along the ridge line to Wansfell Pike you get some great
views across Rydal Water towards Langdale
