Very short pull up hill after leaving main road - then easy walking all the way. Lovely peacefull valley with no traffic, except perhaps the occasional farm tractor.

Up by the tarn on the laft before reaching it is the Wordsworth parting stone, where William said goodbye to his brother, as his brother was parting to war.
